first, did you repalce the clutch with stock or did you go a higher performance clutch? a new stock clutch will jsut handle the power. but you wont be able to launch at anything above abotu 3k rpm adn your shifts wont be too crisp.

for the k04 to work well with the car, you will need new tuning (an ecu upgrade) form GIAC. if you go with the base ecu tuning, you will be about fine. if you go with teh mroe agressive ecu tune (pc-16 file) you will need new injectore. either way, you will need a new exaust system (i reccoment Borla ut it is a bit pricey at around $700). with the bast k04 programming for the ecu, you could survive with stock exaust but it isnt recommended. the k04 isnt the brightest upgrade for these cars, but since its there, might as well take advantage of it.

for resale, it depends on how you sell it. if you sell it to a average used car dealer, it will be around the same, maby a bit more. if you sell it without no middleman (adds, craigslist.com) you could cop out with an extra few hundred on the deal. i highly recommend selling person to person though. car dealers are like michael jackson. gay and undecided.

but if you're strapped for cash and need reliability.. you can't lose with a k04. 270chp, reliable and a nice daily driver. thats what I'm going for anyway.. who knows though, i may go with the gtrs, but I'm not looking for a monster, just something quick, reliable and not expansive. it's rare to have all three, but thats what the k04 offers... though, whats quick enough for me, might not be for someone else.

how much extra would it be for a gtrs + all the supporting mods compared to a k04 with all the supporting mods?
