what next???

Ok so I want more power! I already have Injen CAI, PR2 throttle body spacer & gaskets, intake manifold spacer, apexi ws2. Have to put on UR crank pulley, and DC Headers (once produced again). So other than a $4000 SC what else can I do? Get the headers and pulley on and get a tune? Get NOS? Help please.

BTW I have an 02 TL-S.

after all that if ur not satisfied (which i thnk u will be) cause headers & crank pulley add a good amount of power u can go NOS or some other type of FI or u could stroke the motor out to a 3.5 & get a 6MT

lightweight pulleys 300 plenums 600 and 100 on gas LMAO or you can get a universal high flow cat for like $80 & get it put in for $100...once ur fully modded u need a tune. Neo is around 250-275 & tune is like 175. A str8 pipe is obviously the most non restrictive but not worth it if you get busted by the cops. Its like a $10K fine or sum shit. Just go with the highest flow cat possible.

i mean i seriously feel ya on the str8 pipe but really here in KY you should see some of the trucks and shhhit that rides around . i see/hear stuff that sounds like its off headers only.LOL! im not worried at all bout the str8 pipe. po po have more to worry about. like the meth craze!! i dont care im gonna do it once i get the headers (DC's that is).
i already have a UR lightweight pulley (havnt put on yet, had to get stock size since i have stereo with RMS over 600 watts) doing it with the 105k service. ordered the tool yesterday to keep the fly wheel in place while removing the bolt. ok so $600 plenums, and a NEO and a good tune?!? anyone else have ideas/opinions?

edit: L's TL thanks!!!

CF hood/ trunk will help, removing the engine cover will also increase cooling and give you a bit a of a cooler charge and burn. not to mention that a drop and better mounts will get more power to the ground. better tires will help you pick up speed as well.
