Intakes are not useless but for most people they probably will be. The main advantage of a CAI like Injen (which I have) and AEM are access. They make a LOT of room in the engine bay which is really helpful. They also make it possible to make decent power in the Mohave when it's 110*. It's noticable but them not people don't track their cars in August when it's 110* (except me and a few other idiots). I rate my CAI as a good mod.

The other good mods (this is a WAY shorter list than the other way) are:

- Volk CE28N wheels (17" in my case)
- Ohlins coilovers (I'd rather have JRZ but don't have $6K)
- 3 day racing school at Derek Daly School in Las Vegas

I can attribute 99% of any gains I've made in performance and safety since I bought the car to those 3 things. Everything else has been of little or no value and I could or would rather do without.

on the driving school. I can't imagine a better way to increase the overall enjoyment of the driving experience
