So far I have Titek test pipes and injen intake performance wise. In this forum i was reading about guys talking about the intake manifold and the intake manifold spacer. I saw the Kinetix SSV on ebay goin for like $840 and i was like wow. I don't really want to get an exhaust because i like the sound of the stock exhausts with test pipes. What would be the best thing i buy for the most hp gain?

search this section for "actual HP gains" I believe the forced induction was the best bang for the buck, it's a lot of bucks but it's a lot of hp

LOL....

They are right though, the best bolt on HP is F/I..... you can find many makes and models, and for the longest time i actually was thinking single turbo, now i'm leaning towards an SC and a lot of carbon fiber....

I'm thinking of reliabilty & cost over efficiency. yeah you get more power and may have more potential out of tubos, but being limited with an SC is good for me. It'll be somewhere between a big smile and big trouble.... the SC i think is great, after research and is easily reversable (ATI procharger). Incase i decide to sell the car or the charger for any reason, or if i decide to go turbo later. And the kits are very DIY friendly. A lot easier than the turbo kits. Money also has a factor in the decision. Might only be a couple hundred, but could be a couple grand cheaper than turbo. Looks like all i gotta do is hook up the procharger kit then take it to have it fine tuned somewhere - probably the shop that did my buddies evo.... he was the second evo they ever did and if i am the first or second of Z's i can get a hook up on my tuning. I'm not worried though, they stand by their work and normally work with Z06's, Vipers, Ferrari's, NSXs, Lambo's, etc... They are a high end car performance shop, that rarely deals with sport compacts.... Most of the sport compacts in my town go to a place called Slow Motion Motorsports, who suck by the way (did some people i know wrong and don't no how to work on anything unless they convert it to their way which costs you unnecessary money).

You could also consider the STS remote turbo.
