Default Performance Increases

Where can I get the most bang for my buck on performance gains?

I don't understand why so many people would want to get more perfomance out of a perfectly performing car. Why did you get the Stook to begin with? I'm happy with mine and have no intentions of screwing up a good thing. My opinion.

if you do a search you'll find much debate over this.

but the general consensus is the supercharger.

hehehe, if you do a search you'll see plenty of people with plenty of opinions on this. we (old timers) tend to stay away from this topic now since it tends to ruins the "wa" (harmony) of the board.

I'm simply thinking about nre exhaust, (Borla) and perhaps a cold air intake. Both are very simple modifications that I hope would give me a little extra bump for my efforts.

I like to buy things that save weight. It just makes sense. The lighter your car the better it accelerates, brakes, and handles. One item on it's own doesn't do a whole lot, but the aggregate should net improvements.
