I'd have to say the upgraded ECU, 1 piece aluminum drive shaft, aluminum flywheel or the SAFC. All are mods that made a HUGE difference.

Probably the best bang-for-buck on my car would be injectors, and a supercharger pulley. About $300 and a retune gives you about 80+ HP, and drops about 1 second in the quarter.

(Supercharger pulley is in the mail as we speak! :))

Throw them on a dyno, and get them tuned for real, and you'll see even bigger improvements...
