id change out the gears for 4.10s reguardless if it was an auto or an M6, both set ups will benefit tremendously........its just a little easier to live with in an m6 car.......i say gears, exhaust and a really good cold air set up, not just a lid since u gain almost nothing with a lid

1st-exhaust, if for any other reason the stock exhaust is too damn quiet. Then Lid, TB & Intake for the basics.
