Ruben,

The factory exhaust on these things are what is initially killing performance. I don't know about your '02, but my '99 had a REAL lame setup from the manifolds back to the muffler....Get your exhaust done first, I guarantee you'll see an immediate change. Then get some bolt-ons: PCM, FIPK, etc, and you'll be much happier. -Justin

Actually, I would start on the intake side if I were you. K&N FIPK, 50mm F&B throttle body, M1, B&G flash, 1.7 roller rockers if you want. Then move to the exhaust side. Get some headers and a catback. My preference is the spintech true duals side exit no cats from gsmotorsports.com. Complete those mods and maybe gears and you should see high 13s.

Do all the intake stuff (including porting heads/changing valves) first, then open up the exhaust. Doing it the other way will not get you the gains you're hoping for...
