Go for exhaust. You will gain probably 20 hp with a midpipe and catback.

Everyone says gears are the best but in reality thier not. You end up spending like 500 or more dollarsjust for faster acceleration. I want horsies.
You take two stock GT's...Spend $500 for gears in one, spend $500 on any bolt on(s) and race 'em.

If "I" were to do it all over again, all the money I spent on bolt-ons would have been spent on nitrous or at least saved up a good portion for supercharger..

the problem with getting more HP is that when you can already top out at above 130 there really isn't a need to get more top end speed cuz you won't use it... you could never reach that top end speed with out the acceleration and if you race at tracks you (obviously) only race a 1/4 mile so again... you aren't reaching your top speed... i would with the gears and a short shifter first and get the headers and exhaust
That is the most illogical post I've read in a very long time. [&:]
