Default First Mods??

Well I know we talked about this previously but I wanted to ask once cause I got some money and want to do a couple things. Well I for sure want to do two mods, a cai and a bov, Well I talked to emonz57 and I will go for the hks, but what brand should I go with on the cai??? short ram or full size?? These are gonna be my only two mods on this car so im keeping it simple. My previous car had 15 grand in mods and I dont want to do that again. So any suggestions and reasons why you like a certain brand will help me on my decision.

I dont know if i want to go that far and start changing all the tubing, I was just figuring getting rid of that stock box and getting just the one tube with the air filter. As for the bov, i was gonna go recir cause I dont want to have the surging problem. Its still up for grabs on what I'll do, what kind of gain do you think I would see if I did just the cai or the cai with the different intercooler tubes too? Like i said though I dont want to go crazy, just a few things and thats it. Im trying to save for a house, so thats first. So only a few mods are in the very low buget.

with the Intake and the IC pipe prob nothing noticeable. And intakes are actually said best left alone untill the car is around 400HP but That was my first mode and have no trouble. The BOSt will belive it or not do more for you than the INtake and IC pipes

FYI...
Hey, if you have an Evo IX then you don't need to replace the BOV until you're reaching 25psi or above.
