When you do gears get 4.10s. Those 4Vs love to rev.

IIRC '99 still has the T45... so the first thing you should do if you plan on any sort of aggressive driving is an aftermarket shifter with positive stops.

try forum search? isnt there a sticky?

btw not trying to ruin the thread.. just tired of seeing the same questions pop up every day from a different person.

but for the record. intake, exhaust, mid pipe, then tune. but if you want headers be sure to wait on the x pipe so you can get them for long tubes. if you buy the mid pipe for stock manifolds you wil have to get shorty headers or buy a whole new mid pipe to match the long tubes
