I know that the car will feel and drive a ton better, but I just don't need it. I already have enough trouble resisting the urge to violate every speed limit known to Americans every time I get in the car...but the fact that third gear will take you well beyond any of those limits just proves the fact that it's unnecessary to add a significant amount more power unless you're a torque whore or a track fiend. I'm neither, I'd just like a little bump.

Having done a bit more research, I've ruled out the idea of the BMS intake due to the potential for higher heat intake, and have decided on the aFe dual filter intake, since it has a heat shield. The results it shows on a dyno are impressive, as well. My SA has no problem with that.

I think I'll just content myself to my one being a looker. I mean, it's already an incredible car stock, and beating the pants and shirts off of all the ricers running around here puts a smile on my face every day.
