Do the usual bolt ons. You NEED to get gears. I had 3.91s in my '04 auto. Go with those or 4.10s. Also you are definitely going to want a tuner or a chip. A stall is a good thing to get as well. Once all of those things, some slicks to get it to hook up.

Converters arent so expensive, Im planing on getting one from PA for like $300. I got a Predator not long ago and the difference is very noticiable. Shifts are neck braking at wot and it shifts right at the sweet spot.

i had a local transmission shop do the work. They actually specialize in performance transmissions. They rebuilt my tranmission with a 1,800 stall converter, ( daily driver anything higher gives you crappy gas mileage) trans-go shift kit and i got a foward valve body, so i can upshift my car. Its pretty sweet, the stall converter keeps the engine in the powerband to make more torque, and i can shift and chirp 2nd and 3rd gear!!

^^^ This is true the converter is not that expensive, but the install will run the total price up there. If you like what the predator did for your trans, buy a Trans-go Shift kit!!!! You will really love how it shifts then, I just have mine installed on tue. and it shifts so hard now!!! Even just normal driveing it chrips going into 2nd!!!! And you feel every shift. I also have all the mod's listed in my sig. so to answer your question put all the normal mod's one (exhaust, tb/plenum, cai, pullys, ect.) and then you have some options for your trans and I highly suggest that you get a shift kit, you will love how your car drives after you have it installed.
