MTI puts out a fraction better numbers, but nothing big. Get a off road y pipe, and a shot of the laughing gas.

Lid and cutout will show the most improvement with little $$$. Then go with LT Headers

Don't get the Y-pipe unless your doing headers too. The cheaper bolt-ons would be...

B & M ripper shifter $170.00

Lid (any one is fine) $100.00

Throttle Body (baurs are nice) $150.00

Underdrive pulley (ASP is good) $120.00

SSRA ram air kit $200.00

Those would be a good for minimal dollars.

Good Luck and have fun!

I would get a TSP lid they are on sale now for 99.99 and they are just as good, if not better, than any lid on the market. Plus the guys at TSP are a pleasure to deal with.

A MAF sensor and ported throttle body are fairly inexpensive, and yield decent results
good luck
