What are you looking for? Your question is SO broad I think that is the reason for the lack of activity.

there are a ton. THat is why im so happy i got one of these cars. Most bang for hte buck is gears. Gears are cheap and will make a huge difference. ONly downside is gas milage will suffer.

THere are cold air intakes.. you can do suspension.... go a little deeper and do stuff like heads, intake, cam (example.. LT4 conversion...), Maybe supercharge/turbo it, have the computer tuned.

THere area a ton of things you can do, tell us at least like... a budget.

Get all the weight that you can live without out of it.
Then get all the bolt ons.
A tune, not Hypertech.
Get the flowmaster off the car, that is a big clog in the exhaust sytem.

Check out sig to get an idea of what it takes to run quick/fast.
