Welcome to the board!
First things first, start out with a torque converter, if you haven't already got an aftermarket one. It's one of the best mods money can buy for an auto. It'll bring your ET down quick-like!
What chip and exhaust system exactly??????

Default Not sure

I bought the car with the chip in it, So i don't exactly know which one it has but It has flowmaster exhaust..Sounds really good, No leaks or rattles at all..I know there is a chip in it because the other day i punched it, and there was no rev limiter at all.. What do you think about a whisper lid intake ?? waste of money or what?

About the limiter, it's there, maybe just set really high. There isn't a chip per se, you reprogram these beasts with a computer program or some sort of hand held reprogrammer. As for the lid, HELL NO it's not a waste of money lol, prolly the best first upgrade you can do. After that, you oughta' think about junking that flowaster, it's prolly hurtin more than helpin'. Sorry don't mean to blast you right out of the box, just tryin to answer questions.

Lid's are a good place to start, along with your exhaust which
you've already got. Free-flowing is the way to go.
As to which lid, I think they are all pretty close performance-
wise. I think the flavor of the month is TSP (Texas Speed
and Performance). Shop around, check out the for sale section
here. You should be able to find one for pretty cheap.
We've got a whole bunch of sponsors---------------------->
that would be willing to help you out

Good luck with the modding!

[pimp]Come check out the multimedia section too. Post some pics or
vids of your ride![/pimp]

Well, it all depends on how much you want to spend for sound quality, and how far you want to go with your car. I have a Borla, but the most populat are Borla, GMMC(high$), Hooker, SLP Loudmouth, Magnaflow, etc... I recommed using search for "which exhaust" you'll get more info than you want. Laters.
