I want to keep it n/a. I would like to do pretty as much as i can without any supercharger or turbo or spray. The rest of the plans that i have for it would be for looks.

i need to go for emissions testing each yr cuz thats where my parents are from. so i would have to take it off each yr and that would be a pain. I will when i get my own insurance and stuff wherever i end up after school. I think i am going to go with the 4.10's and the am thunder cat back and get a tune.

First three mods should always be Gears, Short Throw and Exhaust.

My general rule of thumb is until there is more than a 2k into air/exhaust mods you don't need a tune. The only reason to have it tuned is if you do cams or your tb or O/R mid pipe creates high idle issues. This also has to do with not paying ofr the same thing twice. If you get it tuned now, what happens when you get cams or heads, you'll need to get it retuned.

I know a little about cars but i dont think you can do a short throw in an auto, not trying to be a smart ***.

I'd say some gears, maybe a tb but 70mm is plenty big for n/a, maybe some springs, if it was me though I'd save up and get a full exhaust (longtubes, midpipe, catback)
