Default new (to me) 2004 GT Vert

picked it up for $4k with my broke, , V6 turbo as a trade. definately slower for now. just wondering what are the best first things for a GT? i plan on keeping it NA and getting mid 300s for power at some point before i go out of control and do something totally insane.

it's black with a tan top and interior. automatic (bad knee) and fully loaded. i might wnt to swap in an IRS since i like the way they feel.

Like everyone else will say. Get gears and a tune first, then exhaust. But don't get a CAI just get a filter cause the stock one will do the job great.

i am looking for a Termi IRS. they have 3.55s. honestly i got a tune on the V6 with a few bolt-ons and picked up like 10 rwhp so that was basically worthless. what are some good UDPs?

Verts are better. Its a fact.

4.30 gears, full exhaust and a tune=win.

Not really sure which UDP's to get, I never had any. But you said your gonna "go out of control and do something totally insane." What exactly is that?

If you want some big power for cheap in the meantime, some gears, exhaust, and a shot of nitrous would be a good bang for the buck.
