next mod?? any suggestions?

hey guys, well i have the JIC MAGIC exhaust and the B&B test pipe wit resonator. I'm planning on getting the AEM cold air intake next because i can get it for around $270 total. But i wanted to make another mod to my car. I dont want anything done to the drivetrain yet, for example, i dont want a flywheel or final gear etc. Is there anything i can do to my engine like pulleys and other things except going FI?? I've been researching but haven't found much on what to do. ANY suggestions would help a lot guys. thanks

There's always that one $149 underdrive pulley, I forget who makes it but it's the only one I've heard anything positive about. Or you could do the racing beat ECU reflash.

I just installed mine this morning and I didn't feel a difference, though I've never felt a difference on any of my mods really. Maybe I should drive a stock 8 again sometime.

Anyway, I've got the old flashing CEL. I tried the brake pump on more than 5 different occassions throughout the day to no avail. I've got the battery disconnected now and am going to try again in a bit.

If you're staying N/A you might as well get the racing beat flash.
