Like previously mentioned do the 3.73's, they woke my car up alot. I got a real nice gain from underdrive pullies but I had to put an overdrive alternator pulley on it to get the charging back to normal.

If you're looking for some cheap, but responsive bolt ons, I'dget her 4.10s, underdrives, headers and a mid-pipe just to name a few. Have you bumped the timing up on thatthing yet?

I agree, if you dont want to spend an assload of cash right now then, stick to the basics like,CAI,headers, x-pipe, cat-back, and a 3.73 gear.As for which brands to get, the exhaust pieces are all pretty close when it comes to performance, but quality, fit, and sound can vary between brands. As for the Cold Air Intake, I highly recommend spending you money on a CAI from www.tunableinduction.com . Thier ABS plastic systems are far superior to the metal ones in every way and the quality is great, plus the custom paint option is pretty cool too. When I had my biz I sold and installeda ton of thier systems and everyone who bought one had nothing but good things to say about it. Those mods alone should be enough to make it feel andperform like a totally different car. As for the intake manifold, its not really worthyour time and money to buy and installone unless you planto install better heads and cam at the same time, which is why the H/C/I swap is so common.Though, IMO,with that many miles on it you might as well wait till your ready to do the whole engine before you go that far.

When the time comes to replace the engine I wouldnt buy a pre-assembled crate engine. I wouldbargin hunt to find the parts I wantedfor as cheap as I could get them. ThenI'd find areputable local engine shopand let them do the machine work and any assembly work I couldnt, andI'd do the rest myself. If you've done it right you'll end up with an engine built with betterqualityparts for less or around the same as thecrate engine.
