best power mod: Turbo

Assuming this is a daily driver? Best things you can do for some extra pep is an intake, dual exhaust upgrade, an underdrive pulley (highly debated on how much it does), and a handheld tuner. Those are the four that will give you both power and mileage when you want it.

To go deeper for $/hp, a cam is a great upgrade, can net you around 40hp for a few hundred dollars, but will require custom tuning.

Can also do a port/polish on the heads and intakes/tb to get some more hp without spending to much money.

The mods on this are just like any other car, but you will spend more modding a v6 compared to a GT simply because the V6 platform isn't as widely used for a performance basis.

Post up some pics of your car, any mods yet?

well you came close to best bang for the buck mods but adding intake and UDPs is kinda a waste

Over time they make themselves worth it. 3 mpg adds up over a year.

gears, the best feel and noticeable difference without spending a hellava lot.

That's true too... gears are a great "seat of the pants" performance mod
