So I should be getting a little money back from taxes and going to keep my yellow. Its my daily driver(165k) and I have done the following over the last year:

-Stage 0
-ARD White Tune
-Snabb Intake
-Synapse BOV
-White Injectors

With the extra cash I am wanting to do a rebuilt angled flange 16t, R manifold and OBX exhaust, retune from ARD. I think that these will be nice upgrade for a otherwise stock car. Hoping to get the car in the 250ish WHP. Dyno should follow shortly after the mods.

Good plan of attack?

Thanks

Sounds like a good upgrade. I am running like the same specs. I blew my auto...however I have higher miles, I would recommend a tranny cooler...and to be honest a manual swap. I am in the process of doing so, and I think it will take the stress of blowing the tranny and also make the car way quicker.....

Yeah that kinda my dilemma. I really want a manual car. I wanted to sell this and get into a manual swapped 850 or S70 t5m. its a tough market out there now and being ive spend a good amount of money on the car already and its in great shape I might as well keep it, unless something falls into my lap. My auto is in great shape, just flushed it a few thousand miles ago. If its something I really want to keep long term ill invest in a trans cooler. Also thinking about having lucky tune the trans a little so having an auto doesnt put me to sleep anymore

I would just go for the 18/19t swap. trust me, I stopped off at the 16t and just wanted more.
