If you must, I'd go with the exhaust. That should open her up a bit.

Your next investment should be in some track time/drivers school. Always the best investment in performance...

I voted for the cam .

[disclaimer] I do not, now or any other time, have any idea what I am talking about[/disclaimer]

I don't think there's much to gain from the 3" down pipe, even at your power level. I'm sure there's something, but I think the right cam, made by the right guy, will probably make a big difference. In your car and your wallet.

Yeah, JME mentioned I would gain around 50HP with one of his cams. If anyone else tld me that I would not believe them, but I believe JME. For the price, its a very very cheap 50HP.

I'd go for the intercooler. What condition is your motor in? A fresh head/ o-ring and intercooler will help you to turn up the boost. A cam is nice if you want to run higher RPM's but $700+ for alittle HP is not worth it. Now removing heat from engine... good choice.

Sorry, I might change my mind. Do you have a cat? If so, I would get a test pipe. Then what I suggested.

Sorry, don't know. I run a custom 4" exhaust.

I would go with a SFR stainless or if you don't need stainless go with a Lindsey. I've seen both and they are nice units.

I voted water injection only cause it would be a fun and interesting project not to mention if you get a ~cough~smt6~cough~ you can map out injection paterns.

My other sudgestion would be.... Lindsey racing 4 inch exhaust

Engine is a year old since P&P, WFHG etc.

The cam is $650, and for 50HP its a bargin really.
