4.10 gears, $200. Biggest bang-for-the-buck mod in that price range. Cat-back if you can afford it.

Go 3.55 gears or 3.73's. </P>


4.10's are too much if you plan on driving it as a daily,...</P>


Go with headers, x pipe &amp; after cat system with some gears,...</P>


Thats a great start,...</P>

stock or lightly modded is probablybetter for 4.10's because that way your first gearis still usuable

Dont get the 4.10 right away, they're not the greatest for a daily driver... go with 3.73. They're not too big but will hgelp your numbers considerably. Then get that K&amp;N... Open up your exhaust with some headers, off road X pipe, and geta 76 - 80mm MAF kit from C&amp;L for 19 lb. injectors (if your injectors are stock)</P>


Thats a good start there... opening the exhaust will add a good 30 hp maybe and leave you open to intake mods later on...</P>

3.73s, long tube headers W/H pipe, cat-back system.
Worth about 30hp. Get BBK headers for around 300$ + Flowmaster Cat-back for 270$.
