Catless, bov, 24.5 psi, what's next?
I think I'm going to do ZZP exhaust with no res and a muffler for my next mod. Either that or an OTTP intake manifold. Eventually I'll do cams but that's out of my price range for now.

exhaust choice is nice! OTTP doesnt make an LNF intake manifold that i know of. if they do they i havent seen it yet. its really in what all do you want?? exhaust will be more for sound since your already catless and have that big power adder there. with that kind of PSI do you have an intercooler and charge pipes?

Just saying that's all it's good for. I say more vibrations because the bushing stiffer. Stiffer bushings=less dampening. Not saying you feel more vibrations just pointing out that is literally the only change that mount makes to your car. It's a waste of money. Now the front trans mount with the keyhole spacer actually help align things properly and eliminate wheel hop. It has a stiffer bushing as well but in it's location it can actually absorb engine torque and will function to reduce the amount of twist the engine will have under power. It also increases vibrations but it is worth the trade-off.

So basically you have 2 shiny mounts for looks.

Once you max a car out and you can't afford to do big power upgrades then you have to decide if you are satisfied or if it's time to find something faster.
What kind of suspensions mods do you have?
Weight reduction?
What is your final goal? Really for more power, you need more fuel and more turbo. But then you said it costs too much.

I've got HSD's, Powell's hardcore bar/trans mount/keyhole spacer and just received his steering rack spacer today. Also have TCABS to put in once I get around to it. That keyhole spacer made a hell of a difference so I'm sure these SR ones will line up the axles even better. As for weight reduction, im an idiot and left my subs and spare tire/rear seats in when I went to the track Sunday. That alone is probably 300 lbs so if I ever go back I'll be doing that. As for money, I'm working on saving up to do some kind of build but just have to keep doing my research. Have also had thoughts about turning this into a track car but I love to daily it. I'm sure I will need front sway bar bushings, stabilizer links, tie rod ends after the winter for sure too. They've been shot for a while lol...😒😳

I can't agree with you more but I just bought it anyways. I was going to just paint the stock one but TTR had like a %30 off sale so I said **** it, why not? Talked to John powell as well and he said it's fine to use it with his trans mount but doesn't make a difference whatsoever.
