^^Then why did you bother posting?

Best upgrades are a chip; most seem to like Mark Dsylva chips the best. The exhaust isn't terrible from the factory, but a good cat-back can help. There isn't a whole lot to gain with throttles. The flywheel will help a lot through the first 2 gears and maybe into third. Check out metricmechanic.com for more in-depth mods
