Your not going to make very much your first few months in the military, if your enlisting, just as an FYI.

Don't get the DC header. You'll get better performance out of the stock header. Look here for a header:

Look here for anything else NA:

i will be getting close to a 17k for a bonus, plus most of my money will go into this car. i just wanted more info on parts because from my understanding and reading of different forums there are not to many aftermarket parts that actually provide hp gain.
