The 3.55 axle swap is a great & cheap option for any manual! this is my brother inlaws setup, & he's loving it!

Throttle body spacer won't do a darn thing for ya. Totally useless on an MPI engine.

4.10 gear ratio is a better choice with your proposed tire size. Try this:

Some folks claim an increase in performance by using Neon injectors, but I haven't seen anyone post Dyno Results yet. A can of seaFoam used per the instructions on the back of the can should be your first fuel system "Upgrade".

And WELCOME to CF!!
