I would do the exhaust open it up some should help alot. Maybe Igniton if it is bad. Most diffently do the gears you will feel a big diffrence there. Then do suspention next cause you can have all the power in the world but doesnt do any good if you cant get it to the ground. Just my 2 cents

Exhaust

The first thing I did to my car was full exhaust. I didn't get long tube headers, or ceramic coated headers, but I didn't have to go to the shop. I installed all the parts. I love the way it sounds, and people compliment the tone all the time.

BBK Chrome Shorty Unequal Length Headers
BBK X Pipe with Catylitic Converters
Flowmaster American Thunder Cat Back 40 Series

It really opens the engine up, and it sounds very nice.

I would love to hear my car with a Z303 cam! It would be killer!

P.S. then gears!

Well, if you have stock 2.73 or 3.08's then definitely gears ... that 'z' cam doesn't come on until about 3.5K, so get some gears to put that cam into its brain pulse quicker.

Ps- that cam is interested in a little more induction and exhaust as well.

GEARS GEARS GEARS if i had to choose one then i would do gears..car comes with headers and even though they are restricting better then just a regular exhaust manifold...if your only interested in 12's and do lots of city and non highway driving i would go with 4.11's they are awesome on the track...obviously your gonna need to do all those things...but if you could only do one GEARS GEARS GEARS

Be sure and replace your Limited Slip if you have the money. Seems that you do if you are going the Bassani route.

Precision Gear has really good stuff.

Master install kit - F88/MOKIT
Solid Pinion Shim - F9SSKS

Zexel makes a quality differential.
