a good lid, ported tb, CAI, and fullexhaust would be a good place to start.

with what i have installed now (see sig) i've notice a huge increase in the way it pulls on the top end.

Just curious, when you say top end, do you mean 6th gear 155 m.p.h. or close to there? Or the top end of every gear (high rpm)?
