Im looking at simple performance upgrades like magna flow duals, CAI, T-Lok, and some new pulleys. Also after i do this and get my larger rims how should i go about adjusting the speedometer correctly. Could i just swap the GT speedometer with mine?

Well you'll want a Xcal 2 sct handheld tuner. On my V6 I did the lsd rear and c&l CAI with a tune from Evolution Performance. Amazing difference, I'm looking for 17 or 18" wheels but cant decide which ones. Most likely a borla exhaust for some tone. The xcal2 can adjust all the things you mentioned. Pulleys were found to only give 3 to 5rwhp... ? I was going to but decided not to. The CAI and tune really made the difference. The lsd to keep both tires planted... but I can scream them in low1 and give a good chip in just regular drive. Evolution is working on a true duals package... I'm consdiering them. The best way to do the one time tune is put everything on at once and upload a tune that was written for all your mods. Fred at Evolution Performance can hook you up with a smokin tune just let him know all the mods you are doing and once you do them... upload the tune.

The K&N with a tune gets the same gains as a tune and the stock airbox. It's only worth getting if you don't want a tune. I'd suggest either the C&L or JLT. Both have excellent, proven gains. You'll need a tune for either. Doug at http://www.bamachips.com/ has excellent tunes as does Lideo at Alternative Auto.

Both have excellent, proven gains.
What Kind of gains would they be? Noticeable? Barely Noticeable? Hardly Noticeable (I am not technically gifted [&:])

Night and day difference. No more throttle lag, more power on the top end. You will be amazed it's a six after you get it.
