i say go bamachips.com for your intake plus tuner
trust me its worth it....
if you have the money get a supercharger (4000$ and up)
some other fun stuff you can do is make more noise with a new axle back exhausts...
but my personal favorite is a shaker hood....doesnt add much hp...but i love the way it looks....

Welcome to the forum and the money pit. Once you get the mod bug, the only cure is an empty wallet. The Cai and tune, underdrive pulleys, aluminum driveshaft and gears will get you a kick in the pants ride.

C&L or Steeda for intake and Bama or Brenspeed for tune... manual drivers from what I understand prefer Brenspeed and automatics Bama (I have the Bama w/ Steeda intake and freakin love it)

and yes, welcome to the pit...
