Gears (3.73 or 4.10), cold-air intake (K&N), synthetic drivetrain fluids. All for less than $500. If you can spare another $500, get a shot of NO2.

gears are probably the best for your $$, but they cost more than what you may want to spend. $200 for the gears but then the install, which is anywhere from $200 - $300. you can really muck things up if you don't do it right, so its best to have them installed.</P>


underdrive pullies and a k&amp;n will set you back about $150 altogether. Do these together and you'll feelquite animprovement when you're done.</P>

I did underdrive pulleys, exhaust, and Roush cold air intake when I first got my 03, and I could feel it immediately. I did a dyno run with just those mods when Roush came to town, and everyone was impressed with the 251 rear wheel horsepower when they found out those were my only mods...
