Need Power What Should I Do Next? Thanks

Thanks guys for the tips.

Here are my plans.

American thunder(flowmaster) or MAC cat back kit. I already have an h pipe-no cats. Or if you guys know of another company that makes a good cat back unit that I could compare prices to.
Anyone have any comparison data (price vs. quality vs. performance?)

I never plan to replace the heads, stock headers, or intake manifold.

A strut tower brace is as far as I am going with suspention mods.

I have decided against an underdrive pulley system, this is my daily driver, and dependibility means more than anything, I need my ac and my alternator for tunes.

As far as specific driving this car is driven everyday from hourlong Interstate trips, to country gravel roads, with a few stoplight drags along the way. (I cant resist kids in supras or hopped up civics revving their motors at me like they have a shot.)

So I guess my only other question is, with a wide open exhaust, cold air kit, k&n, and a well tuned stock system will I see worthwhile performance gains by upping the size of my TB and or MAF, EGR plate?

If so, what size should I go to for max gains or should I leave it alone (MAF, TB). I just want a little more bolt on power, I dont have plans for a street killer.

I wont be adding any other major components (headers, heads, manifolds)

However they car does have 100,000 miles, with these mods would replacing the fuel pump or any other fuel related comonents result in any gains?

Again, if anyone has any answers, advice, or other components i may have overlooked , thanks I do appreciate it.

My email is ewalker@peoplepc.com if anyone wants to go that route.

Thanks.
