Thanks guys!
How about:

#1 B&M Short Throw shifter ($165), SHO Shop CAI ($149), H&R lowering springs ($205), SHO Underdrive pulley ($199) and
High-Flow BAT Y-pipe ($305)

#2 B&M Short Throw shifter ($165), SHO Shop CAI ($149), H&R lowering springs ($205) and some performance tuned chip (around $250)

Which one is better? #1 or #2?? Also I'm thinking about 17" Exel TZ-10 Silver or HyperBlack depends on the color of a vehicle....any suggestions? Will the 17's hurt the performace of the car??! I've heard that 18's would but what about 17's??? Anybody?

Thanks in advance
