Ok. First - welcome to the forum. Second - sorry that no one has answered you yet but this question comes up almost everyday. You can use the search bar at the top of the page to find the information you are looking for.
Now as for what you can do with the car; the answer is ANYTHING! If money is no option a nice forged 4.3 with an M112 with a 150 shot will give you some very nice power but that will set you back several thousand dollars. It would be easier and cheaper in the long run to sell the V6 and get a V8. If you are looking to start off small look into exhaust, gears, udp, stall (if auto), p&p heads and intakes.

Put it this way, the 94-98 V6s are a terrible building block. If money isn't an issue, do yourself a favor and sell the V6 and trade it in for a beautiful 96-99/01 Cobra. To get a V6 to make any real power you need to invest a good $5000+. The Cobra out the box will have more than enough to keep you amused for a while. Not to mention having a much better resale value. A moded V6 doesn't pull any more money on resale than a stock V6, if anything it looses money cause more people are inclined to believe a moded car has been dogged.
