It would be an increase from whatever you are currently putting down to the wheels. As far as the gears go some people say auto's should go with 3:73 and straight drives 4:10. But I have a auto and love the 4:10's. Rpm's run a little higher at crusing speed but that does not bother me at all.

Gears, Larger CAI (I love the Steeda) + tune and headers.

And maybe add a NSR cam for good measure.

About 30ish for NSR (either comp or FRPP). But that's assuming a larger CAI and probably headers as well. Gotta flow.

Hammeron has a write up in the stickies that shows how to do it. So if you feel brave enough...

I personally don't want to do it myself. I'd rather have someone else there that knows a lot more about this kind of thing than me.
