NX wet kit, 150 shot! there's not a better bang for the buck! get a good tune and your motor will last 4ever, you won't regret it.

3.73 or 4.10 final drive gears, a 2-1/2" X-pipe and catback, and a tune/tuner set up for premium fuel (93 octane if you can get it)--you won't beat him but you'll be able to keep up...

Also, if you are bone stock as you say 4th gear will get you to 120 @ 5200 RPM--don't be afraid to wind out that little SOHC V8...

None without a tune, and the TB spacer is a stone cold waste of $$...

I just added flowmasters to my stock exhaust, i want to remove the cats. Will i catch hell with the o2 sensors, and will it hurt me more than help me?

Just throw on an o/r H or o/r X pipe and put on MIL eliminators if you can't afford the tuner at the moment.
