KKM Intake, exhaust, upgrade the throttle body and MAF, wheels, mirko splitter, and stereo. Then save the rest for all the gas you'll burn pimpin that bad boy around town.  I'd also like to mention that the "Pics and Videos" forum may not be the best place to find suggestions. I'd cruise thru here looking at other peoples stuff, but you'd be better off asking in the "Performance" forum. Good Luck, I wish I had your problem with money to blow!

What ever you do dont d a 3L swap. I have talked to people who have done it and were disipointed in the amount of money they forked over, because he said you cant really feel the difference he said that if he had the chance to do it over, he would get a supercharger.

My 3 liter swap out torqued a supercharged SVT up to mid 5K RPMs. Can't feel the difference??? Who did the swap for this friend of yours? Pathetic install if he spent as much as a supercharger costs and can't feel the difference. I dynoed about 40 lb ft higher than a stock SVT on my lowly 3 liter SE... can't feel the difference :rolleyes:

I'd redo the exhaust (dual exhaust, Y-pipe, but do not remove the resonator!!!) Bigger throttle body, new air intake (K&N). Then get some custom wheels and exhaust. Maybe a speed chip, and if you want interior mods, the A-pillar guage pod. Get a nice stereo system, and perhaps better brakes and suspension components. Anything else and you're wasting $$. That can all be done with $3500..

Intake and Exhaust mods are always advisable, you will also be amazed at how much "faster" your "tour" will be if you tighten up the suspesion. New stiff bushings all around as well as new struts (QUALITY COUNTS) and perhaps bigger sway bars,and good tires. Have Fun!
