I drive a 98 2.8QM, completely stock, and am curious as to what everyone thinks as far as mods are concerned. I know that there is a seperate forum for us 30v'ers, but I want as much input as possible. Also a supercharger is not an option seeing as its a lot more than I would like to spend. Also is a cold air intake or exhaust worth it? Or should I concern myself with appearence and handling to start with? Also if you could be as specific as possible seeing as I am new to this whole thing and know little to nothing. Thanks in advance for the help.

Default Suspension and Brakes are your best bet.

Chip gets you +10hp

CIA is less than 10 I believe

Exhaust? not much.

you might be able to squeeze 200 crank HP with those three, blowing is the only way to go.

Suspension and Brakes make the car loads more fun to drive though.

My favorite quote is that its more fun to drive a slow car fast, than a fast car slow.
