How can you not have enough power? My T100 weighs a bit more and its plenty fast.

Betcha the 4.10s are holding you with some oversized tires.

If you aren't to stay naturally aspirated then the deckplate and exhaust is really all you can do that's worth the money invested. Headers are a waste unless you are SC'd.

The cat back will give you a little more breathing power in the mid range and the right muffler will make it all sound good.

Like any mod, it will be better to FULLY upgrade breathing.

With deckplate, (w/ intake even if you want to go that far) headers, AND cat-back, you could squeeze out, oh I don't know, 8-15, maybe more HP. (I have heard that the deckplate will yield at least 5RWHP)

If up beef up only part of the breathing on the engine, then you only get part results. You are better off doing headers and a full exhaust form there back for maximum results.

Simple rule: More air in and out, more HP you will yield. It is a little more complex then that if you do your research, but that is the basic rule of thumb when trying to get more HP out of a N/A engine.
