    start with an air intake. that for sure. then you could do a few different things. maybe a u-bend delete.

    You could take the blower apart and open up the outlet as large as you can.

    That way, you'll make no boost and you'll be SUPA-FAST.

    But for real, get speed daddy headers off ebay.

    For $200 you could at least make and intake and get a DP made, those alone will help the motor breath a ton.

    Port your supercharger and front manifold and buy a 3" DP...and have an exhaust shop weld in the shorty version and have them take out your u-bend at the same time...that and click the second link my signature...PLEASE.

    Autolites are good, just don't last very long.

    if your stock, get autolite 606 for plugs, 104 and 103's are for when you modded at a 3.4 pulley and lower.

    You skipped 605's which is what I would recommend.

    intake. then save your money and get headers, its worth it. ive heard the speed daddy ones are pretty good, but me personally i think you pay for what you get so i got zzp headers. but if money is tight save for the OBX or speed daddy headers

    totaly agree! in my opinion it is a waste if time to just do a u bend delete or ported manni's especially if you plan on a pulley drop. first thin i would do is headers! then some sort of intake that will set you up for future mods

    Get Speed Daddy's, use the $130 you save from buying SSAC for something else.

    I wouldn't recommend the OBX headers to even my worst enemy. They are that bad. If you want to talk about saving money then get the SD Headers...they are the exact same as the SSAC's which are knock off headers of SLP's.
