Since its a vert I would get a good set of subframe connectors if you dont have them allready.

get some heads and a cam, and an intake later on. (if your budget permits). let us know what kind of $$$$ you have to work with and we can make better suggestions and give better advice.

is it a 5spd?? if it is an auto. get a bigger torque converter and a shift kit and a trans. cooler....and get an aluminum driveshaft it'll save weight and help w/ vibration....or you can go for more power and get like a bigger throttle body, heads, cam, intake, or you can go all out and just get a supercharger!!! have fun

i would say get a 65mm TB or a 70mm TB if you care planning heads and a cam later with a edelbrock performer 5.0 intake. If you dont already have a short throw shifter then get that first
