Default Upgrades to my AU

Hey Guys

My AU's currently in the workshop getting a Racing Cam, Cold Air Intake and a Flash ECU.

What else would you recommend doing while its there??

Its already been lowered, 19inch chromes, 2.5inch exhaust with extractors.

I want it to be fast but im not spending 10grand++ on a turbo because Im buying a New GT in the next 12months, so what other upgrades can I do other then a cam which it already has to make it quicker>??

Also can I expect the cam to pull me back??? Will it be much quicker?

Any help would be well appreaciated.
Thanks Guys...

Look into strengthening the driveline.
Nothing worse than having a nice, powerful engine and then blowing the transmission.

not if you want to do it right. You can get a decent kit for 5k but then you need to fit it along with an exhaust and intercooler pipes and ****, and then your only good for about 7psi safely. If you want to do it right put aside atleast 15k
