3.73 or 4.10 gears
rear lower control arms
wider rear tires

Doesn't boost power but will help plant it to the ground

It's understandable, especially if your still on those hard 235 stock tires. Mine wheel hopped like hell. My poly BMR controll arms minimized it.

power mods - CAI and tune, headers, exhaust, cat delete, cams, driveshaft. That's about all I know of, if there were more, I would have done it. For now I am just lurking around, saving for the B302 and a TVS to replace my stock engine and M90.
