Exclamation Need Suggestions!

Hey everyone i just got my 2005 crossfire roadster limited a month ago and I want to start doing some work on it. I don't know too much about modding cars as I usually work with classics and restoring them. I was wondering where I should start and which upgrades prove to be the biggest. What should I upgrade first?? I should mention I'm looking to up my HP and Torque. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated

Start with a cold air intake.
NeedsWings has a good one, and you can get in on a group buy.
TVT has a 250+ HP mod pack.
An ECU reflash is also a good idea. Check out LET and InMotion.

If you are planning on sinking a bunch of money into performance mods, and don't mind 17mpg, you may want to look into getting an SRT roadster.

Enjoy, and welcome to the forum. Lots of good info and people here.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on getting a Crossfire.

I also recommend a Sprint Booster.
You won't have any HP gain but your butt will notice a significant difference in acceleration and throttle response.

if you wanted a fast car you bought the wrong one.

Contact Startech, they have a v8 conversion. Maybe for a trade and a few small monthly payments, you could go alitte faster! J/K, just "cruise" and enjoy the ride! Sorry, just had to write that. Maybe buy a croutch rocket if you need some speed and go to the track or the canyons. That's what I did for my speed fix. Nothing better than hitting the canyons after work , no cars, no cops, just wide open "twisties"!

Im looking to balance the looks with the performance. I don't want the fastest and most powerful but something close
