First 2 mods if i were you would be a set of pacesetter LT's and a Svede Speed OTRCAI. I would have went with a svede over this pos K&N if i would have knew then what i know now about the quality and HP gains. I plan on getting my hands on one in the near future. I would guess you could see gains between 30-35hp between the 2 mods possibly a little more.

BTW welcome to the rare breed!!

Look into radius rod bushings, rear springs, cross member bushings and Svede or Vararam intake with some headers and a tune

You can go to westcoastspeed.com and find the Svede Speed OTRCAI. It has come a long way and is a very nice piece.

Kooks and ARH have the best performing headers...
SLP has the best fitting and easiest to install hearders
Pacesetter has the cheapest headers

dont have any experience with stainless works
