gears, nitrous, engine management... Most importantly do research before you mod your car since your mods are low in the gains department...

AND if you' re looking here for help you should probably pay for a damn membership. Freeloader...

Before you do anything you should dyno your car. Some people here speak without any knowledge of anything. Just because a part is priced reasonably doesn't necessarily mean its "crap". There is an MY01 that dyno'd with "Injen intake, DC header, no mufflers, stock cat, stock ecu." on a mustang dyno and put down 210 whp. So dyno your car before anything and you should have done this before modding your car also. But I would also say get rid of the Fujitsubo and get a T1R 70R, Ditch the Apexi Neo and upgrade to something like K-pro if your budget fits it. 4.77s are also a good mod to go with. But the best mod for you would be to wait for iVtec.

Agreed, which you can see from my mods list. Unfortunately a couple of the OP's parts have been dyno tested to indeed be crap. Its been proven that a DC header is a waste of money and the current exhaust is not as efficient as a 70mm single. I personally don't like any of the VAFCs either, but at least the OP probably has a WOT tune to keep from running too lean.

So far this guy has leaned towards the more inexpensive mods so as far as bang for the buck goes, I stick with my previous statement. Options:

1) Sell the DC header and apply the $ toward the private label header. I have it and it is an inexpensive dyno-proven header. You're looking at $100 more spent to get 5ish whp...

2) Sell the DC header and apply the $ towards a nitrous system or 4.77 gear set. Assuming you get about $300 for the header you'll only have to put in another $250-700 (depending on which option you chose.) Either would provide *MUCH* more fun driving experience. Get a smaller gear set if you ever plan on going FI or do a lot of highway driving.

Whatever you decide to do I say keep the exhaust (at least for the time being) and ditch the header.

for boltons the 2k price tag on the kpro isnt worth the extra 5-10 hp. deifnately look into new header and try skunk2 cams, thinner headgagsket or jdm pistons that raise your c/r to 11.7:1 remember to SEARCH before buying parts. my j's oil filler cap made my car into a whole new beast so definately pick one up.

I'm pretty sure this whole post was just some trolling, but just so we're clear:

Don't touch your cams, head gasket, or pistons...
