RE: CAI & related mods
Based on what your looking for and the style driving you like to do, I suggest this list of mods to start off with being both easy and cost effective:
1- OCC $20+
2- MSD Super Conductor plug wires $39.99
3- Prothane motor mount inserts $23.99
4- K & N Typhoon CAI $199.99
5- Mopar BOV $69.99 (the reason I have this on the list this high is because it would be easiest to do this at the same time you do the CAI)
6- Mopar short throw shifter w/booger bushings $119.99
7- front strut tower brace: MPx $39.99 or DC Sports $83.99 (get the DC for absolute maximum stiffness, but it will block a majority of the air from the hood scoop that goes back to help cool the turbo, this is why I bought the MPx instead)
8- DC Sports CS-2 rear strut tower brace $83.99
9- Mopar/Borla exhaust $334.99
10- Mopar Stage 1 $324.99 or Stage 2 w/toys $1,389.99
This is a great list to use and in this order. I got almost all of these mods and more, but I bought them in a different order. If I were to do it over again, this is the order I would have bought them in.

Not unless you have "gorilla hands"......[sm=smiley36.gif]
I always take off the negative battery cable as a safety measure when making mods. It also re-sets your PCM if you leave it off for a few hours and lets it "re-learn" the new data from the new part you've installed....
