I porteded the exhaust on my cylinder heads, changed to a trick flow street intake and put on headers/dual exhaust and it made my car come alive. The power used to literally DIE after 4500 and now my best times come when i shift at 5500 (which it actually pulls up to). It's best to get the heads/intake together because you will see MUCH better power gains, but i got a noticable kick in the pants with what i did.
...then again i also had 1.7 roller rockers, CAI, 73MM maf and 70mm TB before i added these things, so your results may vary.
