Default I need some advice!

Hey i am new to the boards and i have a V-6 f-body. Now, i am not looking for a drag racer, but something to make my car quicker. I have a lid, air filter and full flowmaster exhaust. And I was wondering what mods should come next. i was thinking either cams or a torque converter. any help would be appreciated. thx in advance!

Seriously, youre better off saving your mod money for the V6 and just trade it in for an LT1 or LS1. In the long run youll spend thousands modding your V6 and still wont be close to a stock LS1. Save yourself the hassle now. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Joe, do some research on some GN sites. A TC would be my first mod on your car though, followed by 4.10 gears.
