First thing you have to do is get more air into and out of the engine.
Get a lid and catback. All lids are pretty much the same, as for the catback, hooker, magnaflow, TSP Rumbler, and the loudmouth are all known for good flow rates.

Gears do make a huge difference but they can get really expensive when you consider what it costs to get them installed and your computer retuned afterwards.
I was able to get my lid and catback installed in my garage in about two hours total time with minimal tools.

if you plan to mod your car for a while, buy a catback with a semi-decent muffler, becuase if/when you get headers, some people regret having the Loudmouth or the TSP Rumbler with LT headers and no cats. Any lid is the same, go with a lid and filter, and a catback.

gears are a supporting mod really, they help with drag racing, but hurt other places.Air in and out, especially with such a small amount to work with
