Gears. I would keep the stock ones (2.73 or 3.08) for 100% DD, or go 3.27 or 3.55 for DD favored/Preformance, then 3.73 for DD/preformance favored. 3.90 or 4.10 or more for serious strip use.
What is your intended use? For a daily driver with a fewbasic boltons:I would get a H-pipe with some mufflers of choice. Then I would get a CAI. The exhaust/intake opinon in not neseccarliary in bang for the $ order.
Before any speed mods cover all the filters(fuel/air), ignition components, oil/fluids, tire pressure, etc.
