AEM cold air intake, Vibrant longtube header (Jet-Hot coated) and downpipe, GMPP Touring Exhaust, MRZ lightweight crank pulley, Comp stage 1 cams, Trifecta Tune.

Try out some handling mods as well because they definately change the driving experience.

I've got Sportline lowering springs, Pirelli P Zero tires, DC strut bar, and a Progress rear sway bar.

Depends what your definition of "best" is. I don't think you can go wrong with either the Vibrant or ZZP combos. If you want something less expensive but just as effective, check out the Pacesetter.

with the mods you have you won't be maxing out the stock injectors. im not and i already have the tune.

i have injen intake, 2.4 intake manifold, 2.5" Corsa sport catback, lsj header, and a 2.5" catted XTC/CA dp and a trifecta tune.

This may be true, but I'm taking the exact formula of my friend's 2.4 when he had it. All bolt-ons like mine, just needed a tune from a local tuner and he threw in the #38s. When I had a opportunity to drive his 2.4, it was a beast compared to mine when I didn't have all of what I have today.

Dont forget the TTR solid mounts as stated here, they are well worth it!

injectors dont add power, they only provide more fuel for added air...should be no reason to up grade injectors with bolt ons and a tune, maybe if goes and gets some aggressive cames yes, b ut bolt ons alone, his stockers are fine

I know injectors don't add power, just like spark plugs lol. The way I'm going to get the car tuned will take full advantage of the bolt-ons w/ premium fuel.

You still wouldn't need a larger injector for just bolt ons.
