headers...theres only so much you can do when it comes to bolt ons ...I see you have no suspension up grades ,you could have all the power in the world but the key is getting that to the ground

I saw long tube headers or a converter. About suspension, that will enable u to get your power to the ground but you cant just put springs on it to lower it. You hafta do shocks and then poanhard etc etc so basically its like $1000 plus to do a nice suspension upgrade with LCA's, subframes etc etc. It will handle better if you lower it but may ride a little rougher. I wouldnt personally lower your car more than an 1.5 I prefer a 1 inch drop but thats just me.

the stall is probably going to help you the most.

just dont get a 4k, get something under 3k and it will really wake the car up

Dude trust me you WANT a stall i wouldn't go under 3000 thought I'd go with a vig 3200 if you plan to make it a full bolt on car in the future. I would also recomend headers becase they do make a world of difference. But I am stronly pushing that with an auto you get a stall they can really show you what your car can do.

A stall will really wake your car up, but if your not ready for that route then I vote headers...

if you go with a stall id go to get dynoed first. that way you know where youre making peak hp. that way you can match the stall up with your peak numbers.

1000-1200 I guess... My stall was 580? Tax included (got it local) headers are around 500 coated 350 non-coated (For pacesetters) or you could go high dollar and get some kooks or dynatecs. The dynatechs I have are $460 for the headers and $295 for the collector. New of course and they are ceramic coated. I got um used from a friend thank god....
