You can do everything I did...
Green Air Filters, Eisenmann Exhaust (or straight pipe), SpeedTuningUSA ECU upgrade, 75 shot of Nitrous Oxide. That combined will get you over 400hp. If you go with a cheap supersprint exhaust or straightpipe or something, the whole setup should cost you about $3000. Kleeman has some nice headers too. Evosport sells a pulley for about $300.

If you want to go all out, go with a full Kleeman setup. It'll run you about $15G's, but you'll be running 11 sec 1/4 miles.

Have fun!

Powerchip has software for your vehicle that gains 20+hp and 25+tq. It also removes your top-speed limiter and improves your throttle response. With a 14-day day money back guarantee you can't go wrong.

Feel free to shoot me a message if you have any questions.

Depends on how much money your looking to burn. Rentech and Kleeman are good, but are hella expensive. If your looking for a great gain in power,performance, and drivablity without spending an arm and a leg, i'd go with performance software. Powerchip in Los Angeles has the great pricing and the gains are fantastic.
