small stuff.. asp underdrive pulleys 150-180ish and +10 hp, cheap cai from ebay around 30 dollars and better throttle response... how much are you wanting to spend? as far as the governor goes.. i think u need a tuner to do that..

those resistors of ebay do not effect the governor and are just a waste of money and a good way to ruin your engine.... they offer absolutely no gains.

Power isn't cheap. get a tuner to get rid of the governor even though you won't be hitting those speeds safely.

for full bolt ons your looking at spending around 1500.

A tuner is a handheld device that you plug into the same place that the scanning tools go into under the dash. As far as i know you just plug it in and follow the directions.

Google SCT XCAL or Diablo sport tuner to see what they are.

i have no idea which one will work for yours though.

I think they cost $300-$450 new. Try ebay to find a cheaper used one

It reflashes the computer on your car for better performance. They run about 400 bucks. You have to get a new one or have one reprogrammed for your car which can get expensive.

Well 400 is a pretty cheap mod considering your gonna see a good amount of power, but I just noticed you have a 95. You will have to get a chip the tuners only work on 96+

yeah, but you'd also need one of these, its like a switch to let you choose between your different tunes. it goes in your cigarette lighter or you could just cut a whole somewhere in your dash and put it wherever...

as i understand it.
