I would definitely upgrade suspension and brakes along with the engine / tranny.
Just trying to figure out a smart way to go about this. People always boast about how little they spend to get these cars into the mid 13s but I'm all for making the car run efficiently first and then any power gains are supplemental.
Also I'm all for purchasing quality parts that will help the drivetrain last longer. Just not sure if I begin with CAI / Headers / Exhaust or start elsewhere. Figured the package deals can steer me somewhat in the right direction.
Thanks for your assistance.
