If you're going supercharged or turbo, don't buy an intake cause you'll just take it off when you go forced induction.

Cams are junk for our cars. Brian Crower made some, but ended up losing whp and idling really bad. They were recalled.

If you want a good mod that you can use now and when you go forced induction, I'd say get an aftermarket ecu,AEM EMS, and get it tuned. Or even the Greddy Ultimate piggyback. You can use these to tune your car at the moment and you'll need them when you go forced induction. With a stock car, I've seen up to 20 peak whp gains from just a standalone ecu. Piggybacks with timing control, Greddy Ultimate, you can get about 12-15 extra whp when stock. The VAFC piggyback can get you up to 10whp above stock, but you won't be able to tune a forced induction car too much with it. Id suggest the AEM EMS for now. Way better than a 5whp gaining exhaust, header, or intakes.
