i take it its your DD - Daily driver.....gears should be a good one for you and i would recomend 3.55's. exhaust should be on your list too. i always liked LT headers from BBK....LT - long tube. if you break down how much HP you want / how much you can spend it makes it easier to help

what do you want out of your car?? how much is a lil extra to spend?? long tube headers will give u the most as far as headers go.. 70-75mm throttlebody u should save for the H/C/I kit

the gears would be better off done by a shop.....if you have a lift anywhere at school or anything they the headers are easy....gear should run you around 200 and then anywhere from 100-400 to put in....where at in ny do you live....if you do the headers on your back its going to suck but very dooable

best expensive horsepower gainers....
turbo / supercharger stroker kit heads intake cam cam and rockers should almost always be one of the last things you get to tie everything together... |

what do you think your top speed is now because with stock gears i had fourth gear toped out and my stock speedo was reading about 150.....do know what 5th could do if i had the power.....i think with 3.73s your fourth gear would be redlining somewhere around 120ish

That stage 3 kit is going to kill your tranny soon the way your car is now, you start modding and you are one dumped clutch away from walking home man..... I'm not trying to an ass I'm letting you know. If it's a stock size clutch (10in) and your not rough with it it can last.....
anyway don't do 3.73's if it's a DD, do 3.55's. After that cam, LT headers with 2.5in exhaust and intake manifold <<<< btw if you add these things and keep that stage 3 on your stock t-5 tranny your going to kill it
