buy this book that could tell me what else I could have spent the $500 on for my 7?

I wonder how many hp that would translate to on the dyno?

your car is CLEAN. check to make sure all the front bushings are in good condition. usually this is impossible, but with the status of your car they MIGHT be ok. due to the time frame though, im guessing no.

best mods you can do:

poly front bushings
front sway bar
since youre on a budget, tokico hp
some aftermarket springs

id try to find all of this used except the bushings. another idea would be to spend the $500 and buy a used RB exhaust system.

It was a joke, come on! Thanks for the compliment though. That suspension stuff is next on my list right after the lsd install (waiting on caliper kits) and new brakes. RB exhaust in already, as well as a DCOE 45 . Wacky is buying my presilencers.

Holy crap, what's this guy snorting, cause he's way past smoking. I'll sell my copy for 200, or you can find it online, if you look hard enough.

Indeed, brews are on me for anyone helping with the 7. Getting over to SC is on you, however.
