Now what?
After installing my fujita cai, p2r tb spacer, e-cutouts and jpipe (had one now have to get another one...) i have run out of ideas on what to do to in terms of gainin performance. i really want a supercharger but dont have that money. is there anything else i could do to squeeze more hp out of the engine?

Stock size.
Supposed to free up, say, 5 - 8 WHP.
Light Weight Wheels? ~15 - 18 pounds.
Race Springs and Performance Shocks or Coil-Overs to hold those Wheels to the ground better (you're probably already lowered though)? HP doesn't do you much good if you're spinning your tires.

Intake Manifold spacer
ATLP Exhaust
ATLP Test pipe
E-Shift Pro cats/high flow cats
Port and Polish (P2R makes ones done already)
UR Underdrive or Stock size pulley
Seafoam Cleansing
Rear Sway Bar for better handling
Lightweight battery
Weight Reduction (remove spare, rear mats, etc.)
If you plan on getting the SC, then it would be best for you to buy the UR Stock Lightweight pulley, you can buy them from excelerate in the black market section. You can buy the ATLP parts from acuratlparts.com

you only need the crankshaft pulley- not any of the other ones
Its several pounds lighter than the stock one- get the stock size if buying 1 belt for $45 is going to break your budget on a 200$ part, OR if you run 600++++ watts stereo at full blast at idle as part of your normal life, stay stock size in lightweight crank pulley.
The underdrive pulley runs the ac compressor slower- just slightly- but enough to reduce parasitic drag by a substancial amount. The slight slowing to the ps pump does not hurt the steering or anything else, its the alternator at idle- and huge stereo potential load- thats why there is a caution.

you're in MO i'm pretty sure they hook it up to the OBDII input; they dont take the stupid tester to the rear of the car anymore, tho if you don't somehow mask the syrup smell i guess that's a dead give away.
