    If your not looking to do Forced Inductions, your going all motor.. Then your looking probably a Pulley Kit from Aem, with a Cam Gear, helps with acceleration and lag in the power band.. Then you got headers, for better exhuast flow, a big must have but with that you will either need to get a S-AFC to properly tune it, no matter what... Then you can get a walbro fuel pump with an FPR, to better supply fuel to the motor since you just added your headers.. Plugs and wires for better start up, Vitek, NGk, Magnacore, all makes plugs and wires for us. Theres just a lot that you can do, what u got to remember is once u do something to ur ride, there is always someone who is faster.. trust me on that..

    Another Texan Get the 6 pack throttle body from RPW...that'll really be fun.

    One thing that will increase acceleration is to put on smaller tires (from 16" to 15"). It will in effect lower your gear ratios and make you car quicker but lower your top speed.

    Good Luck

    You could up the compression. Rippmods sells higher compression pistons, but then you have to make a bunch of changes along with it. Not sure on specifics, but alot of what Kemist said would need to be done.

    Let alone, the exhaust system helps the top end majorly on our cars. Get a 2.25" piping from the cat straight to a universal muffler and you'll be keeping up with most cars on the highway.

    Couldn't have said it better myself, Shane is right about all the parts you can buy. But also don't forget about all the free mods you can Do Yourself. Like The throttle body Mod and I think there are a couple more.

    you don't want to go too big on the exhaust, though. our cars are already strapped for torque. bigger exhaust will only add to the the loss of torque, therefore, making it take longer to get off the line. but your horsepower will make a decent jump. our horsepower and torque really don't kick in untill at least 2700 rpm. but you can feel the pull once you get there. i say go with some pullys, cam gears and intake. all from AEM.
