    4.10 gears and a Mo's tune. Best bang for your buck. Cold air intake and Flowmaster won't make your car faster, just louder. Which is fine if that's what you like.

    You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard

    4.10s and a tune from Mo's. No flowmaster. Just remove the lower cat converters and sell them. Or replace mufflers with MagnaFlow.

    I stay in Michigan never heard of that tune spot. 4.10 gears im going to look into that. I thought more air more power, I'm green on all this so I'm learning as I go. I'm gonna cancel the Flowmaster.

    Search MOs Speed Shop. He is in GA, but can tune anywhere..you don't need to be there. He does not frequent here as often, but has a forum in the vendors section you can look over. If you do Facebook, he is on there, The shop is on there too

    The Mo's tune would come to you on an Xcal and you would load it in the car via OBD2 port. Super simple. No need to go to GA for a stock engine. The tune is the number 1 thing you can do to improve the car, the OEM tune is complete s hit.

    Most 'Cold Air Intakes' are in fact,
    Hot Air Intakes.
    The OEM Marauder intake flows very well, it moves more air than a stock N/A engine can injest.
    Mo's tune and 4.10s will keep you happy for quite some time....
    And you won't break the bank doing them.
