Scat pack performance

I am new to this awesome car thing. I have always enjoyed speed, usually with my motorcycle. Now I have a car that I love! I am interested in gaining performance without hurting the warranty. I asked my local dealership, their lack of knowledge concerns me! All I need is a list of things I can do to make this car even better. What should I get?!

Here's a few to start:

1.) Catch can
2.) Tuner (i.e. Diablosport Intune or Trinity)
3.) Custom email tune (i.e. from Johan or Sean at Hemifever)
4.) CAI (i.e. LMI, AFE, Mopar, Speedlogix, etc)

Those few things there will wake the car up quite a bit. Then if you want to go a little further you can do these:

5.) Catback exhaust
6.) Short or longtube headers
7.) Throttle body

Shortly after you do all of these things you'll realize traction is a major issue. If you plan to go to the dragstrip and turn a decent ET then you'll need some drag radials, preferably on 17" rims for better traction/sidewall flex.

8.) Set of new replica 17" Cobra R rims
9.) Set of M&H drag radials 275/50/R17's

If you have an automatic you might want to look into getting a higher stall converter if you get into drag racing more as that provides a better launch.

You can also do some suspension mods like:

10.) front strut bar
11.) rear strut bar
12.) frame ties
13.) lowering springs or coilovers

Those are just a few ideas depending on your goals and how much money you want to spend. The new Scat Packs are really fast and great handling as it is so you've got a great base to start with. Good luck!
