Sounds like a pretty good plan. What year car are you doing this to?

Is this in chronological order? If so, you need to move some things around.

3.The stock throttle body flows plenty for a mildly modded engine.
4.The FRPP manifold does not require delete plates, you won't see any gains in HP unless you have ported heads and cams and most of the power will come on in the higher rpms.
5.The Economy plates are much cheaper and serve the same purpose.
6. An O/R X Pipe will net you more HP than mufflers.

Hmmmm.... sounds like you may be counting your chickens before they hatch. Do you even own the car yet? Are you ready to spend another $2k for all of those parts? Can you install those yourself???

Sounds like we might have a wishful teenager here...

I've had the car for 5 months. I'm 23. I put the under pulleys in today by myself (that was a *****) the $2k is sitting around collecting dust I though it would be nice before I found the 6 speed I want and slap on a new rear diff and supercharger but I was going to keep this one a daily driver. I was going to get a 04 shell and really build it so not so wishful but more like finding the time.

Throw some long tube headers on there, you won't regret it and I'm sure you can find some that comply with CA laws. Though they're often pretty expensive, you can get them pretty cheap if you want (OBX, for example).

If you're going to put a blower on the car then I wouldn't even worry with all the other stuff.

Long tubes will not pass CA smog... they fail them on site alone.

You can use shorties, but they're a waste of money... unless you just HAVE to have shiny headers on your car.

Not going to supercharge this one the 04 I will I'm going to keep this one auto and I see no point in keeping a auto and supercharging it. Defeats the purpose.
