Welcome to the forums.

How much money do you have right now to spend on this?

Have you thought about gears and a rear swaybar?

Take more time and read over the forums. Look in the tech section of the V6 forum, more info than you can imagine. Then come back and ask a more specific question. Welcome to the forums though.

I currently have about 600$ for an upgrade. The real problem I think is installation of parts as it is so expensive. I have no special tools and am a beginner with most things. Thank you for your help!

Hello max. If your looking for some power, look into some new gears or a tune. Tunes are very expensive and is childs play when it comes to using it. A tune for your car is going to bring out much needed horsepower out of the wimpy engine. Goodluck!

Well you need to start buying tools, not having tools is the biggest hamperment you're going to experience. You need tools, plain and simple. Don't pay shops loads and loads of money to do things you would other wise be able to do.
