The whisper lid and scoop give you about the same performance as a K&N, actually a slight bit more I would guess.

Start with your CAI. Go to your catback of choice after that. Then headers. Then gears and an aluminum DS.

See if that makes your butt dyno feel a bit better.

Not gonna change gears, more negatives then there is positives, gas mileage already sucks in my car and thats just going to make it lower.

You want the car to be "as fast as possible" but you don't want to change the gears cause it will effect MPG. You realize that any thing that generates more HP will use more fuel? At lease while its making that power.

If your car is not meeting the standards for MPG you should fix that befor you start to mod the car. Whatever is killing your mileage might be killing HP also. My 96 gets 30+ MPG on the highway.

Depends on what gears you go with really, but your gas mileage shouldn't be bad. In my v6 auto I was always able to get high 20's on the highway; hell I get 17 city in my v8 T/A.

well i talked to a mechanic that mods his cars all the time and he said not to its just stupid, he said all it will do is kill my gas mileage and its not the worth all the work, maybe ill do it in the future, but im doing the cam, heads, exhaust, air intake first.

I can get like 19-20 MPG when I drive around town going no faster than 1500 RPM.
