If you dont plan on turbo or porting then RB down pipe and exhaust, then suspension mods.


If you are going to port then full racing beat exhaust and standalone.


Not a whole lot to do with the NA motor for major hp upgrades.

search for "NA power" or "beefy NA" or something allong those lines.

SAFC+dynotune or wideband 02
pinneaple racing sleeves
header, midpipe and catback


you will probably not see past 170hp without porting and once you're AT or past 200hp the car will not be very streetable. if you KNOW that it's not going to be enough power then don't bother upgrading the NA. Buy the parts for a TII swap and you'll start at 250hp and can go as much as 490rwhp(some other member with a 10AE).
