Cheap and easy: Delete the resonator. It really won't boost the output (1-2 HP if you're lucky) but if seems like it does by adding a sweet "growl" tone to the exahust. I fell in love with the C32 all over again when I did that one mod. You can un-do the delete easily also. Should cost about $50 at any muffler shop. Caution on the Speedbooster. I think it will be alot of work to drive the car smoothly after adding the device. It, also, does not add any HP to the car (for $250+).

BTW, the sprintbooster does not make the vehicle difficult to drive smoothly under any condition.

Get the Quaife LSD BEFORE doing a pulley upgrade. Coming from a car with traction issues, you will appreciate how much improved the C32 is with the Quaife way more than you'll appreciate the effect of turning up the wick first!

when i first got the sprintbooster, i loved it so much, i couldnt help but have a lead foot. a couple of days later, i was having trouble getting traction from a dig. i couldnt figure out why and blamed it on the sprintbooster (which is a tiny bit to blame). i stupidly forgot that my tires already had low tread when i installed the sprintbooster. so i was having trouble with some baldish tires lol. if you dont have bald tires, the sprintbooster is fine.

Personally I think the first mods should include suspension. This car is pretty powerful in stock form, but the handling leaves more to be desired. I think its one of those things where you will fall in love with the car again.
I did the basics first, only because the car really needed them. K&N Air Filters, Magnacor wires, and NGK Plugs.
I will agree with someone that mentioned the resonator delete. Sure you dont get much out of it, but the sound alone it worth it.

All in all, the sprintbooster is a great mod, and makes the car VERY FUN to drive...

When I first installed the Sprintbooster, it made my throttle SUPER hyper-sensitive. So, of course, I started having traction issues. It was very hard for me NOT to lose traction. It felt as if the car wanted to race EVERY time I touched the gas pedal. However, after a couple of days of driving, my foot adapted to the feel of the sprintbooster and now I can launch very smoothly or very agressively...
