Okay so I have a V6 Pony package, I have 373 gears, 8.8 rear, T Loc, CAI and Custom Tune by Bama Chips, True Duals with an X, SLP Axel backs with SLP High flow cats, Lowering Springs, 18' wheels. My cars year is an 06, what else performance wise would anyone suggest besides an X Charger which i'm seriously contemplating for an end of summer project?

Aluminum drive shaft looks nice, just a shit load of money for one item, Fly Wheels are half the price, do yall think an Aluminum fly wheel is worth it? I'm not doing Headers/ LT Headers are way to expensive with little gains, and I'm not going to put under drive pulleys or throttle body or spacers as I've heard no gains or loss of HP.

Also do I need to change my tune since I have new gears?

Currently my cars in the shop getting a shelby hood with a shelby scoop on it, and getting the rear installed. Here's a pic of my car, maybe some of yall have seen me around.

at this poit, i would say save for some sort of FI. underdrive pulleys DO give a gain, but if you plan on going blown i would avoid it, sicne they will just lower boost when you get it.

if you really want to do something, consider control arms, or some better brakes

I wouldn't go an X-Charger route, I have heard that they aren't that great of a system for your buck. Personally I would go with what Shelby did which was a Paxton NOVI-1500 when you go FI. But breaks and handling are a must since your doing FI considering those gains your gonna want to handle a lot better.

The control arms give a big difference? And I see lower and upper, would you go with both or one?

quick281 did them and said they did, but Im not sure as i do not own an S197.

at the very least, upgrade the brakes. if you can go fast, stop faster.

8mm ASP Underdrive Pulleys, anyone know about these? I read somewhere that they make 10hp gain and aren't to bad on the engine.
