just bought it today and looking for advice on what mods to do first. Its bone stock and I have roughly a grand to spend.

 

Here ya go. In the order you should get them. Good start for bolt on performance.

Gears

My 2 cents worth is either go with exhaust or gears. you should be able to get gears installed and everything for around 600 (that was my price quote around here) or go headers all the way back for exhaust

 

Gears, 3.73 for a 5speed, 4.10 for auto

 

Your gear should reflect the cam and waht type of engine you plan on building, saying that you should throw a 4.10 in it or 3.73 without taking the rpm range of the cam you decide to pick into account later on would be pointless.

 

Definitely gears first, subframe connectors and lower control arms are good too. I didn't see any ET gains from full exhaust but the sound diff was definitely there.

 

First off make sure you really dont need the money. Second make sure all maintence has been performed.

Depends what you what. Sound, go with exhaust. Better acceleration, go with gears.
If you do a lot of hwy drivng you may be happy with the stock 3.08 and 25 MPG. Also if you get full exhaust work done all at one time, you may save $ on labor, because the headers/ Mid-Pipe/ Mufflers will only have to be removed/replaced andlined up once.

 

thanks guys!

 

okay this guy is not confused now lol
