I'll help you, cuz I'm from Jersey too :P

The first 3 engine mods are always intake, header, exhaust. If you look at the intake it feeds air to the block to the header down through the exhaust and out the back. Free-flowing, less-restrictive airflow, 4-1 header design, and stainless steel mandrel-bent exhaust systems combined will give you at least 10hp maybe 15. Decent bump in power, but I don't know if there are any out for GE8 yet.

there's way too many to pick a best. I went skunk2 for my exhaust, I'm going T1R for the header, and I went PRM for their intake

Honestly if your looking for power I would save the money and just go turbo or supercharger. You can spend almost $1000 on an intake, header and exhaust that MIGHT get you 10whp if your lucky, that you wont be able to feel. Youll have a loud annoying car and it will be just as slow. Wait for kraftwerks to come out for a supercharger for the 09's.

GD3 and GE8 are just chassis codes. Not really slang. like EK9, DC2, SW20, RPS13 etc blah blah. LOL

On the first page of the forums it says 2nd generation GE8 08-present. I thought GE8's were 09?
