If you want power, ditch the Underdrive pullies and the cold air intake. Get yourself some longtube headers or atleast an O/R mid pipe with a good cat back. Gears and a tune.

Auto??? Go 4.10's! Along with a tune and stall and you will have much more fun . Borla catback sounds like sex with any mid pipe!

You are 17? If you are just starting out just do mid pipe, catback and tune. After you get comfortable with the car than do go fast mods. Be safe and take it easy in the rain!

Be careful the rain can be unpredictable and can catch you off guard sometimes!

If your doing first mods, I would not worry about a stall converter at the moment. No offence to slayer....

first thing i did with my autp was 4.10 gears... best choice ever... i got a superchips programmer on mine and it runs good. with just a cai and rest stock (even 3.07 gears) i ran a 15.2 ... i am in the progress of doing a pi swap, tbs, 100 shot, lth, x pipe, and the 4.10 gears i hope to do a nice little increase.

Go with the 4.10 gears. Anything less in an auto is a waste of time. That and a programmer will be a good start. Any money left over start on the exhaust.
