the easiest thing to do is bump the timing. then go for some plugs and wires. are about the easiest. to find out what gear you have installed in your car here is what you do. jack up the back of the car and support it on jack stands.(on level ground) place the car in neutral. crawl under the back of the car so you can spin the drive shaft. take a piece of chalk or grease pen and draw a line from the rear universial jouint thowards the fron tof the car only about 3 inches. then take the same pen and mark one tire at the bottom on the inside. then proceed to rotate the driveshaft and count how many times the mark on the drive shaft spins around until you have rotated the rear tire that you marked one full turn. say if you drive shaft turned 3.5 times then you have 3.55 gears if it turned just under 3.75 turns then it is 3.73. hope this helps.

Yeah its easy to find out what gears you have lift the *** up and rotate the tires and count how many times the driveshaft rotates when the wheel turns.

well also they're may be a tag on the cover where your gears are that tells you your gears... if not do the tire spin thing also the easiest to do would be to get a cold air intake, headers, bump timing, good tune up, and underdrive pullies.</P>


Hope this helps</P>
