You know, I was in the EXACT same place you were in when I first joined the forums. Although I suppose you've met some nasties; When I first came in I met a couple of the "nicer" guys like mygt500 and Legion5. With their help, a couple of embarrassingly immature and newbish questions, and the almighty google, I learned more about my car than I though possible.

First of all, as a fellow teenager, even with a V6 you don't want more power. I'm already scared to death of my power on the road, especially as inexperienced as I am.

While these older guys may be telling you that it's better to have a car that looks stock and opens up, I personally believe it's quite another case for teenagers. I'm in the market for a Roush kit, turning my car into a Stage 1 or Stage 2, and then I'll turn my focus to power. Just my personal opinion; We can kill ourselves with too much power, we get arrogant and think we're the **** with our cars.

But that doesn't mean we can't mod, we should probably just do the visuals first.

But to answer your questions, you can get a lot more power EASILY by throwing in a CAI and tuning to 93 Octane. Many people have different opinions on tuners, but I think I'm going to go with HyperTech or SVT when I come to that. A shaker system outperforms the CAI in the same department, cold air, but keep in mind the shaker's also a LOT more expensive. I suggest your first performance mods should be a Cold Air Intake, any brand, and a good tuner. Most tuners are pretty simple, a series of yes or no questions and what octane, ect.

Again, my personal opinion, I recommend you doing visual first at your age.

And take it easy on him guys, we're kids and we can be dumb.
