    i just made a cold air intake out if abs pipe and a 6 inch k and n filter i led it over my pcm and made cut a bigger whole threw the fender wall for more air to get to the filter. i also put a Helix td spacer in and a 3800 tuned pcm. the car feels so much better and feels like its got more balls then stock. any ideas on what i could do next for more hp and perfomance? i already have a high flow cat converter.

    ^^that one. as for headers, they're bolt on. remove exhaust manifolds, bolt on headers. another mod that's pretty easy to do and has a good power increase is higher ratio rockers. 99% of people will tell you to top swap and throw a supercharger on. i am the 99%.
