You go ahead and get your bolt-on, your trans can handle any of those.

trust me man 4.10 gears and a tuner are the best mods for an auto... you will see a huge difference in performance and drivability

Well you could get some gears and a tuner.

Or you could go and and do the "$1500 supercharger build". I think it usually ends u at around 2k but you could use the search tool and hunt the thread down.

I vote for the "$1500 supercharger." I am in the process of doing that now. All I have left to get is the mounting bracket!

as said above 4:10's but I would get some sticky tires and 31 spline while you're at it. You'll be picking on LS1's before you know it. Since you're 17 I'd suggest not a DR but a good seasonal BFG or Nitto.

All exhaust is relative to what you want to hear. LM1's don't have enough tone for me. Lm2 sound great if you still have cats. Flowmasters sound great but drone horribly at about 2k rpm. Corsa is about the best but way to expensive to put on an our cars. Bassanis have a great tone but ping a little. ...you get the idea.

exhaust is just sound preference... if you want to look at gears, there are numerous 10 page threads about people arguing gears

Ok one final question, is there different gears for the auto and the manual or do they use the same??? Sorry for all the questions, im trying to learn!, btw i plan on doing all the install's with my shop teacher, whom is very experienced, so install costs wont matter. Plus the only way to learn is to do it....
Thanks for all the replys
Bob
