G'day, cold air intake (many brands available do a search on web, all work well) borg-warner cap & brass rotor, Autolite 3923 plugs, 180 tstat, remove rubber flap front LH side behind grill, high performance plug wires, high flow muffler, V8 throttle body, headers, roller rockers the list goes on. This is a grat site for info just research well. Good luck, Cheers

like the above says, but of course you can't do all that at once unless you got money bustin the seams of your pocket. i would do the cheaper mods first like 1.cold air intake (i did mine homebrew and am very pleased) 2. muffler (flowmaster, dynomax, etc.)3. autolite 3923 spark plugs, 4. 180 t'stat, 5. v8 or aftermarket 48 mm throttlebody. i haven't got a 180 t'stat and TB yet, but i can't complain about the first 3, and all together they only cost me about $200 total. if you keep the stock pipes for the muffler swap it's cheaper but the dual exhaust and pipes can be around 250 or so, it's up to you, i kept mine and didn't lose any bottom end but it's not as sporty looking. i will warn you though, this can become addicting once you notice the power increase with just these few things, imagine how much better it would be with the more expensive things ;-)
