Tires, yes. Single best modification and IMO should always be first.

Not sure I'd say suspension is an "entry level mod". It can be done wrong, stock suspension is pretty good with these cars - if not careful with aftermarket you COULD hurt handling.

Test pipe, exhaust and flashpro. Greats mods if you want to go boost later or stay NA. I wouldnt touch the intake or header until youre sure about which route you want to go.

According to Billman, removing the airbox lid reduces HP. If I'm not mistaken I think he said 12-15hp? My S came without the lid. Once I read that from Billman, I bought a lid ASAP.

Lol, definitely not.

Incredibly healthy stock cars dyno at like 210whp - you aren't gaining 20whp from a test pipe and a generic tune....
