****Before I go any farther, don't buy Pulstar pulse plugs. These pics are of the plugs I pulled out of my car after about 5-6k miles.****
OK on to the worthwhile mods.
First DIY mod, cold air intake (Injen)(took me about 3 hours)
1/25/2007 New motor installed, along with Jim Wolf Technology clutch/flywheel. Sorry I didn't get a chance to take pics of the clutch/flywheel. The new hp number is estimated hp @ the wheels. Looking at other spec's with similar mods, I think that's a fair estimate.
NEW HEADER!!
(Installation was about 3 hours)
Before installation /..........@100 miles
@200 miles

Put in Energy Suspension motor mount inserts. Installation for these was about an hour and a half.
This pic is with the old magnaflow on there...
After I got the new motor and put on the header, the magnaflow was way too ridiculous loud, so I put on the Apexi WS2, and these are after (obviously dirty since it's winter)(Installation was easy, it only took about an hour and a half, including time to jack it up, put it on stands on all 4 corners, and then take it back down. )

WRP Throttle Body Spacer
^Just out of the box (screws in place so I don't lose them)^
^Throttle body just before install (CAI taken off already obviously)
^After install (installed in a hurry, didn't have time to take pics until after I got back, it really didn't take me until after dark, lol) All said and done if all goes well it's a 10 minute install. I had to move the mount for the lower intake tube, and to do so, I had to find a new nut to fit on the back side of the mount, so it took me a while to find that. Left is side view from the Driver's side of the car, right pic is from the front.
-Crown Performance Kevlar/Braided Stainless Steel Clutch line
It took me about an hour to install, it really wasn't that hard, I just have never bled anything before, so I had to figure out how to bleed the clutch.
