Just wanna let you guys know the most noticable bolt on mod I've done so far is the PG intake. I've got an OBX header, SLS catless midpipe,magnaflow catback,MP3 ecu, K&N Typhoon and none of those singularly did to the acceleration feel that the manifold did. Next will be Integrals/camgears.I gotta a feelin the cams will be the biggie, but we'll see.Do it up!

i was lookin to get the camshafts, possibly camgear. i was looking for engine internals such as that. any other suggestions? also let me know how it goes when you do install it.
Depends on how much you wanna spend. You could go with higher compression pistons maybe even forged pistons and rods, port and polish head with bigger valves and a valve job. What do you have done so far?

would the forged pistons be worth the 500$? i just found a set, but it doesnt say anything about how much gain i'd get. where could i get a port and polish head? and so far i have an injen cai. just got the car a week ago so im still in the planning process. im getting a list together of what i want to do so far its.
Exterior:
Tints
Fix paint chips
Engine:
Headers
Exhaust system
Camshafts (both)
cam gears (is a cam gear a trial and error type mod? or is there a place i can check online on how to get the best gain with this by either increasing or decreasing timing?)
sorry im fairly new to this but i try to do my homework.

Corksport has 10.7 pistons. You can get a P&P head from Protege Garage.Start with header exhaust intake manifold 1st.

Dang y'all, why don't you do the basic bolt ons before you go ripping the motor apart! lol
Throw an MP3 ECU, intake, header, midpipe, and catback on and see how that feels.
Then, intake manifold, if you want to get serious. throw some twiggy cams in that beast

I assume it pulls harder in the upper RPMs, but have you noticed a drop off in low RPM torque as is often suggested?
A little more suction sound, sounds good though. The bottom end loss if any isn't noticeable but midrange on up sure is. These motors were so choked up it aint even funny. Anything that'll make em breath better is great.i don't think I'll pull the head/pistons unless I pop somethin and have to, then I'll do the other s***.Do it up!
hmm does it sound any different?

The PG single runner intake manifold on their website.
dumb question but what part exactly are you talking about that PG sells? I see their 626 package, and other intakes but not 100% sure what you are talking about. thanks
