+1 on nitrous. If you want constant power id say port your heads and intake and get a more agressive cam(assuming its not a DD). Nitrous will get you the fastest the cheapest though.

Nitrous will come in good time... im thinking something with the motor, doesnt have to be a HUGE boost of HP but enough to notice.

Hmmmm.....Not much to work with

Do you have gears yet ?

You could save up a few more hundred and get a nitrous kit of some sort. That would definatly be the best bang for your buck.

Or you could just start with your basic bolt ons. Intake, pulleys, exhaust.....

Auto or manual? 4.10's either way IMO, but some most will say 3.73 for manuals.
