    So I'm sitting here thinking what I can do next to feed the addiction. I can't get crazy and spend thousands on a supercharger or anything, so here are my "affordable" options as I see them...can you guys think of any more?

    - Underdrive Pulleys
    - Ported Throttle Body
    - Electric Water Pump
    - Hi-Flow Cats (I think my stockers are getting plugged anyway)
    - Stickier Tires (I'm almost due for tires)

    Is there anything else without starting to spend the big bucks or adding nitrous?

    A side note - I wouldn't want to spend, say, $500 on 2 or 3 mods if I could spend the same amount and get a bunch more hp from some other single mod. Make sense?

    i agree with adrenaline. also if you want go ahead and gut your cats and then when your ready just buy some high flows. im not sure what it would sound like but just another thought about the cats situation.

    It might sound funny if you gut the cats. I think I would go with the u/d pulleys and the ported t/b and axe the cats if emission aren&#39;t a problem. What do you got for gears in that thing?
