Default what to make my car more fun?

i have a stock ws6 w/ flowmaster muffler welded in, and short shifter

i want to do stuff to my car, i was thinkin about a cam, but havent talked myself into breakin into the engine of my dd yet

how big of a difference is lt's(qtp's or pacesetters, havent decided if its worth it), catted y, cutout, catback, lid

how much more fun would it make the car, what kind of hp would i be looking at, and yes, i know, that cant be answered, but generally speaking

headers and a cut out is what i would do.... then do a cam because headers really compliment a cam well and exhaust is something you need to do no matter what kind of mods you do (cam, h/c, forced induction, ect.)

SKIP the CAM RUTE save that for later.. YOU want FUN. Then go with a 150 WET shot. It Will make you feel like you are 7yrs old driving a power Weel again But faster

i say get lts,ory,catback,lid, and 150 shot and a tune and you will be happy for awhile,that is until either your a/t trans starts slipping or your clutch goes south,whichever you have.

Get the car breathing first! Throw some pacesetter headers and a good catback on it to start with, that will release some power and give it a good sound. Then a good clutch and some nitrous would make it a whole different car. Were right up the road from you in Lubbock so if you ever need anything or have any questions give us a call!

SFC's will stiffen up the ride nicely...and exhaust...a good sounding exhaust is FUN.
