Default Next?

Okay so as you guys know I installed my CAI and my Exhaust... now performance wise... whats next... I'm afraid to go with either Jet chip because I've heard reports that eventually the ECU relearns how you drive or w/e and makes the Chip ineffective, until you reset the ECU and the process starts over again...Ohh and I have the 180 tstat, I just haven't had much time to install it, so whats next performance wise... any suggestions?

Or suggestions for visual/perfomance doesn't matter what should I do next?

Well how far are you planning to take it? Could always save up and get some cams and a flash like superdak did (actually I remember seeing him say he might buy the new cams and sell his somewhere on here...). Possibly an electric cooling fan?

I should be getting my electric fan this week. I only plan on adding headers next and thats it. I have exhaust and air intake kit installed. I really don't see any performance benifits to adding the 180 thermostat and the chip doesn't seem worth it to me. To get maximun benifits from the chip its recomended to use a higher octane gas. Since the experts say gas will hit $4.00 per gallon by summer using Higher octane gas will be too expensive for me.

your next mod should be to relocate your iat sensor farther down the intake tube. this will get it away from the engine heat and move it closer to cooler air. most people by the power wire for 50.00. but doing it this way saves money cost me 3.00 at the hardware store for extra wire and a couple of crimps this is were it use to be first pic is were it use to be second is were it is relocated farther down the tube
