So i am thinking if i am going to spend money on getting a tune i might as well get a couple of other things too. I just want your opinion on the parts that i am thinking about getting (like yes good choice or this brand/model is better or don't waste your money on that mod and do this mod instead). Now with that being said keep in mind this is my DD so i want my car to be VERY reliable (like it is now). I only want to spend about 2k but will go up to
3k if i need to but that is the max for my budget right now. so 2k-3k

List of things that i am thinking about getting

MGW Shifter
LFP cooling Mod 2nd Gen

Billet Flow 2.8 or 2.76 upper pulley
Billet Flow 4 piece idler set
Stig Stag V port

^^^^ Or should i save up and get a Whipple along with all of the supporting mods

SCT & Tune either from Shaun AED (if i can get off on a monday), Amazon , RWTD or RET (but RET is about a 5-6 hour drive)

And if enough money some suspension do not know what i should get i just want a smoother ride not sure if i even want to go any lower with the bassani i can barely go over speed bumps at stock hight as it is.

List of my Current mods

JLT RAM AIR (painted Silver to match car that MUST be worth 40 RWHP alone i heard silver makes your car faster LOL)
Bassani X pipe with cats & Bassani cat back
LFP Dual Pass HE
LFP Radiator
Billet Flow Brace
Billet Flow Bracket (Welded)
MM Full Length SFC (Welded)
FR500 Replica's 18x9 275x35 up front & DD 18x10.5 295x35 rear with BFG KDW in all 4 corners
I did something else too like some bushings or something forgot what it was exactly LOL

Thanks for your input/opinions very much appreciated

I'd wait... even if you do get a twin screw, you're still going to have to upgrade your maf, injectors, and fuel system. that alone ranges in the 1k area.

try a tune, 2.76 pulley, 4piece idler set, and the mgw shifter. I drive my 03 cobra everyday and it's super reliable
