Feel that my options are limited here

Alright,

So, I was thinking of getting PCDs, but then after thinking a long time and the fact that I live in California with treehuggers, I decided against it.

Right now, there are lots of people who say supercharger is not worth the money for the power it gives. I currently have CAI, ATLP Jpipe, ATLP quad catback as my main HP performance mods. Yes I know.. CAI... STOP... just stop..

So if I were to keep my car NA without getting the PCD or removing the 3rd cat, would any other performance mods make sense at the moment? I guess I can try some weight reduction?

Looking at some threads about ported and polished intake manifolds and runners, and all that stuff... not sure if those will do much for me.

Whoever said that the S/C is not enough is an idiot.

320 WHP on a base? I want that

HPCD and UR pulley-- HPCD should pass you in California, I think?

Than do weight reduction when you're waiting for those mods to come in.

Rob, if you're going to keep your car for a while, pick up that supercharger thats in the black market now.

it comes with a intercooler.
thats what makes that sale ideal.

it is a complete kit.
with the intercooler, it solves the over heating problem at part throttle.
345whp is sick.
