First grats on the new car. Just got mine about a month and 1/2 ago. I would take care of all the ends before I hit performance upgrades. But when you get to them...Headers are a great mod. After that Stall. As always....HIT UP THE SEARCH BUTTON

Cool man thats a good price. Your best bet is always to start with intake and exhaust...get air in and out. So look into a lid, filter, headers and ORY. Since you are an auto a stall would also really wake it up, and some drag radials will get it to hook. Then plan for a cam...thats where the fun really starts!

Also for good deals look through the used parts section. Before too ong I will be posting up some stuff off of my car for sale, lid, catback, shorty headers, 241 heads ect.

Nice Steal Man Hope You Like It But Next You Should Do The Little Boltons And A Small Cam And A Tune And That Should Help You Out Right There For Now Cause After That You Get Into The Big Stuff Like Heads And A Bigger Cam And Spray But Have Fun With It
