Exclamation bolt on mods

Ive got an 03 SC. Is it worth my 300- 400 bucks for a cold air intake and a throttle body spacer? If so, does the supercharger increase the install difficulty of these mods???

Cold air intake... Probably should do it.
Throttle body spacer...save for exhaust instead.

Cold Air intake "yes" Not difficult to install(I have the K&N). My advice is save for exhaust, The factory Y Pipe is the big problem so Nismo or Custom exaust IMO

CAI is good, some quality spark plugs and wires can help and exhaust. Not much else that is "bolt on".

I talked to my buddy who works on vehicles, and he said that a TBS will give you gains with any vehicle, he said he and a buddy made one themselves and put it on a stock pontiac sunfire and they saw gains.

what brand of sparkplugs and wires do you recommend??? when running dual exhaust do I put 1 or 2 mufflers? And what about the distributor cap? Im used to working on accords, it what I had for years and replacing the cap, wires, plugs and adding a coil really pepped up my throttle response.

Lets Pretend

You have $600. You just bought an 03 SC 4x4 Frontier. What do you by for it if you want more power. (Stuff I can put on myself, I'd say easy to moderate modifications I can do) Thanks. Im looking for the bigest bang for my bucks. Please rank them for me too.
