    Best thing you can SERIOUSLY do...

    Take care of the weak spots...

    The Lower Mounts, Exhaust, and the Transmission.

    Flip the upper dog bone mounts for free, get solid rubber motor/transmission mounts, Headers..shift kit...pan drop...new filter/fluid; not a flush though.

    Since you already have an intake setup...I'd do a tune-up if you haven't...plugs/wires/oil/coolant flush/180* T-stat/PCV/fuel filter...check axles/hubs/brakes...etc.

    Then after all that...a PCM tune and a pulley drop...that should be good for a solid 40~ WHP over stock.
