Being that you do mostly highway, cruising etc I'd say the plenum if your looking for another mod.. You covered the basics with Intake, exhaust and Tune.. Wait to do the flywheel if and when you need a clutch..

No, but it'll save you a lot of labor costs to wait till your clutch needs to be replaced before putting in the lwfw since they're located in the same area. Not worth spending money on installing the lwfw and then going back in there a few months later to replace the clutch.

which would i see the most from is what im asking. sorry for the confusion :-/ I believe the Lwfw is around $1100 and plenum like $899 so not to big of a difference in price. Im just curious which does the car more good performance wise between the two.

You don't need to replace the clutch, the OEM clutch will work fine with the LWFW. It is a good idea to wait until your clutch is replaced, or you can replace the clutch when you do the LWFW.
