3.73 or 4.10 gears, long tube headers with taht goes a new mid pipe, 3g swap w/ underdrive pullies and electric fan, mandrel bent exhaust, k+n filter, 65-70mm tb, 73-76mm maf, new upper and lower intake, bump the timing(will need to run premium fuel). Those are the simplistic "few hundred dollar" mods.

Click to expand...

gears aren't EXACTLY a simple bolt on IMO...

BUT, being that he has an automatic... gears and a shift kit are the two BEST first mods this guy could do... by far.

AOD? 3:73's, underdrive pullies and 3G alternator upgrade, electric fan, shorty headers, off-road X-pipe, catback exhaust. A good tune-up is always good (O2 sensors, and junk)...
