Thats what I said too...$1500 for one mod I can't do myself or @$1000 in a whole bunch of mods I can do myself and have some fun/learn some things at the same time. Not saying gears are not totally worth it, but it's much harder for someone like me who has a couple hundred every now and then and want to buy something right now. If you don't want to go the gear route, superchips is the most bang for the buck mod you can do, imo. Thats an immediate, seat of the pants boost in performance.
