Personally I'd colour code everything Arden Blue.
As for getting more power, you don't really have many options as far as I'm aware. I remember Regal used to do a throttle body kit, but that cost £1200!!!

0-60 won't be 10.8 seconds with just a K+N mate, might even be slower without a cold air feed.

As said no way have you gained 1.2 second's 0-60 from standard with a k&n, more power Dbilas do a inlet manifold which is quite costly.
B) No who would ever think of doing that

i didnt believe it either i done it 6 times and all 0-60 times were between 10.8 and 11  my mate had said sumtin bout leting the battery complety drain down and jump it adn the let it idle 10 mins. then proceed to drive the shit out of it i live in the country so that was no probs was at 95 everywhere and now it goes like stink.
was going to colour code it but every1 does that i want to be different was going to gloss back the plastics get it lowered 60 on coilovers or something and buy ats cups for her
