I would say the best mod I have done and enjoy the most ( daily) is springs and swaybars. You feel the improvement rightaway.

I have no plans to go FI, so the best bang-for-buck mod was the pumpkin swap.

I'm looking into the VB upgrade next.

1) Manual VLSD Pumpkin with 3.7 gears
2) Transgo Reprogramming Kit
3) Solid Urethane Differential Mounts (I used Z1)
4) Works Bell Paddle Shifters
5) 5/16" Plenum Spacer and K&N Drop-in Filter


In order of "wow factor". Car is so much more fun to drive now! The top 3 mods really should be done together; there is a nice synergy between them.

Unless you have an HR, like others have said. Don't even bother and go boost if you REALLY want power.
