i would say save up for 4.10 gears and a t-lok... apporx $200 for each and $200+ for install. i would say a rough estimate would be like $750 for the gears, t-lok and install. these dont give hp eaither, but the t-lok makes both tires spin and the gears give a lot more accelaration. you will see a big gain over your stock rear end

mods = money

if you want mods get ready to fork over the money.
the CAI is the cheapest mod, but i would say go with the pullies
i got a CAI for my first mod and wish i would have gotten something better, like pullies lol

you can get a set for like $160 from VMP tuning for the UD pulley, water pump pulley, OD alternator pulley, and belt. that IMO is the best kit if you are planning on running a good sound system. if you arent then you can just get the UDP and belt for just over $100

dont ebay the pullies, get them from VMP Tuning
they are smaller and make your pullies spin faster, therefore freeing up some hp and giving better acceleration

nope, but if you are running a large system you will need to get the set that has the OverDrive Alternator pulley
