Search the threads. Learning should not be quick. Welcome to the community. Please read the modding threads carefully.

What does "fully stocked" mean? Does that mean no aftermarket mods?

You also need to know your car well. Do you know your warm engine static compression? Have you done a cylinder leak down test and know the results? What mods, if any, does the car have now? Do you know the repair history? How many miles?

I have an '08. Bought it new in the Spring of '08. Mods are in my signature. Whatever you do, don't throw a bunch of new mods in the car all at one time. Do that, and if you have an installation or performance issue, you'll not know where to chase and fix.

Modding should be careful, incremental (one mod at a time) and a progressive process.

Start with knowing the condition of your car now. That will have a profound effect in what you do next.
