start small! but i would say stay away from the ram intake! it can actually make u loose power because it is sucking hot air in from the engine if you want an intake go with a cold air intake

Scam. Have not heard of any good stories of chips. Only reason ppl think they give power is because your computer is telling your engine full throttle when you are going part throttle.
Do a tune up to make sure engine is healthy. Then do CAI (I live in Manitoba cananda, my filter is 5" off the ground at most and I drive it thru snow, rain, anything) if you're that concerned about sucking something up get a hydro guard for like $30. Second Get an exhaust, it'll bolt up to your stock cat and give you the sound that you were looking for. After that do your header. It's a huge pain in the ass. After that you will want flashpro to make use of the mods you have. From what I remember, with basic bolt ons you'll be sitting at a little over 200whp with those depending on tune and elevation and such
