Question Looking 4 more performance

Wanting to get more performance mods for my Pt without getting a Turbo or SC. I have the Borla duals, K & N FIPK and bought the Helix power tower for a good price so will put that on when I get it and I've lowered the Pt with 3 inch Goldline Springs What other things can be done to add more HP and arouind what is the cost for such. Oh yeah. I use synthetic oil also.

I'd like to know too. The only external mod I can think of is a header, but not sure if its worth the $300 to $400 cost if you keep the stock cat. A high-flow cat adds another few hundred bucks to the tab.

Will be purchasing a header in the near future.

Did you notice any difference, Overtake? I'm getting the Crane wires, but only because at 40,000 miles, I think stock wires are shot, giving me a stumble sometimes.

ACTUALLY gonna do that this summer, Ant............................................... .................................................. ..........hopefully!
For me, the wires were a neccessity, because of the Whipple supercharger puter's early problems, ALL my plugs (but more often #2) clogged up! I was told, & hoped this was the cure, that the wires would help, but alas, twas not!
Since updated blower puter, all is well, SO to make a short story a miniseries, truthfully.................................no difference to reference by!
I'm not familiar with the MDS ignition, but am happy with Crane's! THAT's why I mentioned it! Just offering another choice!
Good luck & enjoy your choices!
