Welcome to the club!!!

Do you care about the warrenty? If you do, then you may want to limit your mods. The warrenty thing is a big problem for some people. Something as simple as anexhaust can void a power train warrenty.

How seriuous do you want to get?

If you are looking for some great, big bang for the buck mods, my favorites are:

1 - After-Market shifter like a Steeda Tri-Ax ($170). The stock shifter sucks. Do this one right away. You will be impressed. Not a warrenty problem either.

2 - Get rid of the stock rims if you can unless you got nice chrome ones with the car when new. I think rims are a great mod. All show and no go, but still one of my favorite mods (not a warrenty problem unless you get crazy)

3 - Catback exhaust! Lots to choose from. Gain a few hp (just a couple), but a nice sound for under $400.

4 - New gears. My choice 4.10's. Cost about $500 - $600 installed. Will not add hp, but will make the car more fun to drive and quicker.

5 - Replace the under drive pullies. About $200 - $250 installed. This will add 10 hp to the rear wheels by slowing down your acessories.

6 - Add a plenum and a larger throttle body. Total cost around $400. Your car will pull much better at higher RPMs. You will see 8 - 10 hp gain. Nice mod. Total cost about $400 and you can install in about an hour if you are not afraid of tools.

7 - Cold air intake! About $60 - $200 depending on which one you go with.

8 - Performance Chip? I have one, but don't bother unless you do a custom tune.

That's my input. As far as actual brands to use, we can talk all day about that. There are lots of opinions on that subject, but ask away and be sure to read old threads.
