okay...after a lot of thinking I decided my entire christmas/birthday graduation is going to be devoted to me car =)
I was thinking about what I should do, and I decided to do this order:
intake => exhaust => Spark PLugs and wires => ECU => fuel injectors?
does that sound like a good plan?
theres no way I can afford a turbo setup right now...so is there any way I can do all that without doing anything else to my car?

I wouldn't worry about the injectors.  The stock ones should be adequate.
I wonder how hard/expensive it would be to swap that auto for a 5 speed.

Yeah, if you can dig up the parts from a wrecker, or ebay, or anywhere, swap your auto for a 5-speed.  You'll be able to take advantage of all the power your engine is capable of.

how much do you think it would cost to get it installed? I can get an s13 tranny for under 1000 dollars I think
Then all I would need is the shifter and pedals and all...maybe throw in a clutch/flywheel at the same time

someone offered me 250 for a used s13 tranny.  I don't know what else you'd need....but let me know if you need it.
