Good to know. I don't think I'll ever alter my MILVs, but I do plan the 3-stage intake and I've already done intake and exhaust. The one final thing I might try are AFE Twisted Steel headers.

I'm surprised to hear your opinion about the 3-stage intake. Looking at some dyno charts, I thought most of the power came up high in the rev range which is where I think it falls flat.

Sadly my transmission doesn't shift smoothly enough for me to consider going with a 3.73 ratio. I couldn't shift fast enough to see much benefit without roasting the transmission.

I'm most excited about replacing my dual-mass clutch and installing a new giubo. I can't stand the rubber band effect I feel in the drivetrain from time to time. To me, that will really liven up the driving experience.
