1--Gears....they may hurt your mileage a little, but the performance trade off is well worth it....if you're really worried about gas, go w/ 3.55's...I like mine
2--remove your air silencer in the passenger side fender well and put in a K&N filter
3--Get a larger MAF sensor
4--bump your timing up a couple of degrees
5--complete tune up if it's been a while or you're unsure....wires, plugs, cap, rotor, fuel/oil filter, oil change

you need a better flowing exhaust, like flowmasters or magnaflow, slp or mac, etc. you have emissions test where you are? if not, a hi flo H pipe would be a good invesyment too. 3:55 or 3:73 gears would give it a torquey feel. those 2 things would make you think you had a different car and would sound alot better too bro. than a cold air intake with a bigger throttle bod and mass air meter would be next for me. removing the air silencer too like the guy above said and putting a cold air in would help it breath better, meaning +hp and better gas mileage. the air silencer is that big plastic box that takes up all that space under your hood and what covers up your air filter and such.

youre looking at about 400-600 gor the rearend gears and install, 325 for the flowmasters, 200+ for the hi flo catted H pipe, 2something for the throttle body, 2something for mass air, 100 for the cold air intake. so youll need to take it step by step. but do the gears and exhaust first.

Their is really no point in buying a MAF unless you need it for bigger injectors... Believe it or not, stock intake, throttle bodies, and alot of other things are good up to 400RWHP....
