A tune is a must. A 52 would be fine for a stock motor, 58 is overkill. EWP's generally yield 7-9 rwhp by them selves. Underdrive never hurts, but make sure you buy the alt. overdrive pulley as well. By doing all 4 you should "notice" a differance in performance. From my experience, don't touch the maf.

yeah leave the maf alone. ive been told that it takes quite a bit of mods to outflow the stock throttle body and ive noticed guys running some fast times still using a stock one. my ewp was a noticeable improvement on its own.if you do the the ewp then the underdrive pulley would probably make a dif. i used a meziere 118wp hd. "hd" being the heavy duty one. i called meziere, they claim its a different pump from part # 118wp. just some thoughts...

Great Thanks! I Will Probably Get The Underdrive Pulleys And Ewp. Will The Longtubes, Ory, And New Plugs And Wires, And Tune Give Me A Really Noticeable Difference In Power? Cause Right Now Im Kinda Getting Bored With It Cause It Feels Sluggish.

LT's, ory and tune will make a good differance. I would do full exhaust as well.

If you do under drive, get the one built into the balancer. Usually runs $170, but it'll yield more power vs the bolt-over one, which just adds more weight to the equation.
