aut cooling plate would help when tracking the car, a tuning unit; aem, greddy, k-pro. hum, test pipe, short shifter, 8 pound flywheel, better brake pads, gears and i guess i replace all the valve springs and retainer bc of your avatar pic. lol just kidding nice pic, btw how did you get yours to say "999" mine only does "288?"

Will a computer help me allot even with the parts I have, wouldn't the stock ecu adjust its settings for the intake & headers?

Forgot I had a cooling plate and high flow cat... added to the list... how did I get it to say 999 lol photoshop of course

Better brakes is an idea.

a computer will definitely help! not sure what you are asking about the stock ecu? yes, the stock ecu will adjust itself to the intake and HEADER, singular , but in the bad way. with the stock ecu you wont be able to get a lot of whp from the intake and header. to get the most out of the bolt-ons, exhaust, high flow cat, intake, and if you get one, header; you will need to get a tuning unit. you could go all out and get a k-pro or aem ems, a step down would be greddy ultimate, a step down from that would be a vfac.

also something nice to have would be coilovers.

Aren't you guys a bunch of comedians aye lol.

Computer - sounds good, where's a good place to start looking, im not going turbo or supercharge does this mean high end AEM's ECU are not good for me, im not into spending heaps on a computer, just maybe something that will suit my needs and maybe further minor mods, not something overkill...

And coilovers is on the wish list..

well IMO with the mods youve got I think a VAFC tune would do well enough especially since you said you dont want to spend a lot of money on a computer

Of course if youve got the money and dont mind spending it something more advanced (AEM, K-Pro etc.) would be more advantageous for tuning
