Wait till you get an aftermarket clutch kit. Then you will feel a workout in the left leg. But like everyone else says, stick to the basic stuff first. Cat back exhaust, k&n filter, advance timing. And the very first major mod you should do is put a set of 3.73 gears in the rear end. This is not something you can do in your backyard unless you've done it before or know someone who has. Adding a lower (nemerically higher) gear does not add any more horsepower or torque, but it is a great feeling on the a$$ dyno. It helps get your car out of the hole faster and it also makes burnouts easier.
