hint 1. Mobil 1. But don't tell anyone cause thats a seceret.

hint 2. Fuel filter, airfilter, plugs,wires,good fuel, maybe change your trans and diff fluid.


None of these are MUSTS but, great insurance.

You can kill two birds with one stone on a few of these....the filter,..instead of buying a replacement,..get yourself a VARARAM intake,...plugs and wires, well, you can get some MSD or taylor wires, and some good plugs. The fluids, you can replace with new I dunno, maybe redline synthetic fluids....

etc etc...

I would do all of what is stated above except for MSD or taylor wires. Try to get some Z06 wires, they are alot better
