Plenum, 200 cell cats, etc - may be good, may be not, but ECU flash is number one thing.

I would do the Software for throttle response first, and get a few ponies on the side 
And then I would go for Suspension as suggested before
I personally am not touching the engine, but am getting Bilstein PSS10 coilovers for handling

Could you be so kind and let me know about your experience with your Softronic - what was the result? More throttle response (throughout the full bandwidth or more between 3000-4000rpm), any more power, better acceleration?

My car did not have sportchrono so getting 100% throttle was nice. May be if I would have SC I would not have such a change effect, I cannot tell. For a car without it I think this flash is a very nice mod. I dropped last dyno run snapshot into my garage area - it shows comparison before any mods to after all mods. Should give you some idea based on what`ve done so far.

I have C4S w/SC and noticed a big difference both on and off, but especially w/SC on
With Softronic you'll have the option to have SC on all the time or when you hit the button. I noticed a difference across the band but especially in the mid/higher range (3+k). Throttle response is also much improved, and for some reason i've been getting an average of 1-2mpg better fuel economy, but i'm not ready to attribute that to the flash yet
What I especially like about Softronic is they will send you a cable, and once you've sent in your config w/a list of your upgrades they will send you a mod file AND the original file, which is nice when you bring it in for warranty
Whenever i take it in and revert back to the original file I'm always itchin to get the Softronic file back in
That said, it was worth every penny, especially considering the fact that I have the ability to flash it myself and not send out my ECU.
