For the auto, at the very beginning it begs for 2 things...a tune and gearing.

If you have no plan for forced induction (supercharger/turbocharger):
-Get a Bamachips 93 Race tune and CAI.
-4.10 gears

From there, it all depends on how serious you want to get and how much money you have to spend. The rest of the normal bolt-ons will do you good too...full exhaust, UDP, CMCV delete, suspension, etc.

Welcome !

As TheDarkPathsaid, and add to the mix a 3,500 stall TC lol, its the best mod i've thrown into the car and the most noticeable too. That´ll take you to low 13´s or high 12´s with no problem.

I went with 3.73 gear cuz i dont like the idea to have the engine over-revved when i'm in a highway. Though going from 3.31 > 3.73 is a good difference.

It really depends on what kind of money you are wanting to put into it. But an intake and tune are definately the best mods to start with unless you have the money to get a supercharger/turbocharger.

I have an 07 Auto, I did the 3.73 gears and the CAI / Tune from Brenspeed. It is like a whole new car now. There seems to be a big debate on the boards about wether to do the 3.73 gears or 4.10. I did 3.73 and haven't been dissapointed yet. As another poster said, there is a big difference between the stock 3.31 and the 3.73. Good luck with your decision.

I talked with a few retailers and they all recommended that I went with the 4.10s and mine is an automatic, the only difference was I was planning on going with forced induction which I eventually did.

like everyone else said... search the forums. Also I highly recomend the flowmasters. i got an auto and once i put the flowmasters on the car chirps with just a little bit of gas. not to mention you get the throaty muscle car tone and you will let everyone know you have it haha. good luck

a little off topic - the stall converter? i heard it causes more "wear" than any other regular bolt-on, bs or true?
