A dyno tune with a good tuner + UTEC or F-Con will yield more HP than a simple reflash... Other than that, I can't think of any other "bolt-ons" that you haven't already listed.

Nitrous. And like gothchick said, don't waste your money on a reflash... get a UTEC and a good tuner.

Also, try shedding some weight from the car. Get a set of light wheels, 2 piece rotors, aluminum suspension etc. The weight saved from shaving unsprung weight will make a huge difference.

Are you serious? Forged ain't that far from you (Marietta, GA... for an excellent tune, it's NOT far from Fayettenam).

That, I can't answer. I don't have any experience with the UTEC. Go to TurboXS.com and read up on it.

I agree with everyone on the UTEC.
A guy here in MI has alot less bolt ons then you and his UTEC and Dyno tune he got a GOOD amount of power once it was tuned right....

It is well worth the trip ESPECIALLY with all that you have done.

utec will give you a pretty good hp boost with the breathing mods you have.

md 5/16 spacer
aps upper plenum

I don’t like this performance combination. If you say that it is a horsepower adder OK.

Like David said you cant do a spacer and an APS plenum-since you claim you have them already Id like to see pics. Also, a short shifter doesnt add hp and shouldnt be on your list. You can still do a TB, HKS ignition and a good tune. Oh, and ditch the AEM intake its garbage and is making you lose power.
