Hi tofast4u1989,

Sorry to break it to you but you can't afford to go much faster than you already are. If you want to go fast you need to bring bags of money to someone who can install a supercharger on a built bottom end. Go to school and finish, get a job and then come back here.

Cheers!

id say get a brenspeed tune and cai, with slps or pypes muffler delete, with some 4.10 gears and that should put you in your seat pretty good.

I believe Brenspeed sells the tuner with 3 tunes. Since you don't have any mods your choices are limited to your choice of 3 octanes. However, I strongly suggest you get the CAI & tuner. If you just get the tuner and tunes, you'll have to buy modified tunes when you get your CAIdue to the additional airflow.

Call Brenspeed and they'll answer all your questions. Their tech support is excellent.

You have 300Hp , 300 Trq, its just delivered in a innefective way.

0. Dont cut those mufflers off, get a tuned setup.

1. Get a Cold Air Intake and 89 Octane Tune FTW.

2. Get rid of that play in your throttle pedal sensor resistor.

Ive driven modded and stock, and must say, after modded and tuned, the difference is Male and Female.

Yes, get the CAI/Tune combo from Brenspeed. The package will come with 3 different tunes for the different octanes. I would shy away from the K&N as the gain will be a bit lower than the C&L, JLT, Steeda and etc. You will notice a big difference with just this modification. Gears would also help. I wouldn't be too worried about burning the tires too much as they are expensive to replace. You will be happy with the improved throttle response, power and especially the shifting with the automatic. You will chirp 1-2 and probably 2-3 shifts with the auto. Brenspeeds tunes and service are top notch.
