lol, for starters, get lighter rims! 20 inch chromes are heavy and slow down a car! lol, otherwise you could go with a Cold Air Intake (CAI) and you could get a slightly smaller supercharger pulley. all of which would give some extra power for pretty cheap. also, depending on how many miles are on your car, new plugs, wires, and an air filter could wake up a few extra horse power!

Once you get away from stock drop one heat range, Autolite 605. You only need to change the one pulley, no smaller then a 3.5" 20" wheels are really not performance wheels, no bigger the 17" if you want performance. With that many miles changing teh plug wires is a good idea, just stick with stock replacement wires.

what r DTC'*? and around how much would that whole high flow cat system run...i also heard u could build and CAI instead of buyin they whole sytem for 200-300 bucks.....is this a good idea? to be honest i only want to spend a couple houndred bucks for each mod. the exhaust system im lookin tro spend the most 300 ...the SC pulley im willin to spend around the same (if they even cost that much) ......and if i was to add the exhaust system do i absolutely have to have the cams and headers or can i run on stock heds n cams?
