Depends on what your goal is but the first mods I'd suggest: trans cooler, Transgo shift kit, 3'' Hogan downpipe into 2.5'' Magnaflow (or custom 3''), strut tower braces, tune

Other mods: lower it, LS1/LS6 intake swap, rockers, headers, cam, small shot of nitrous etc. for some serious gains.

Save your money for a TEP transmission.

Sweet, hope you find the one you're looking for. I think you had to special order an SS for it to NOT come with leather or sunroof.

Just noticed you're in the Woodlands, when I get back in town we could meet up and you could see/hear/feel what some of the mods do.

I've got, STB's, 1.8's, cutout, headers, K&N CAI, and soon to have a LS6 intake swap.

First money I'd spend though would be on the STB's, those alone will change the way the car feels and handles 100x's.
