But because its very early and I can't fall back to sleep I'll throw together a quick list.

Gears- (4.10 for your auto)
T-lok-while your in there
Exhaust- H or X pipe
CAI-after your exhaust
Hand held tuner- Sniper and SCT are good

Thats a good way to start out after that depending on what your plans are with your car you can start looking into FI

obdnanr · May 15th, 2008, 06:13 PM

performance parts actually decrease value. Unless you find someone who wants to buy a car already worked up.

nos=brand
nitrious oxide=the actual spray

2002BLGT · May 18th, 2008, 12:59 PM

K&N drop in filter
Underdrive pulleys
Trac lok in the rear and 3.73 gears
new clutch because the old one tore out after the gear swap
and then a Sniper Tuner

tried this list on a 98 V6 , dropped the eighth mile ET from a 10.8 at 65mph wit a 2.2 60ft down to a 10.04 at 72 mph with a 2.3 60ft , drag radials and it would have been in the high 9 second range for sure

so roughly 8 tenths and 7 mph from a short list
