    well if it doesnt have 3.42 rear gears and LSD i would do that then i would do the FTRA and whisperlid, Then you could also do like me and just put nitrous on there it helps with accleration alot. ;)

      If you have an upgraded sound system, that's probly why you're not going as fast as you used to. get a whisper lid, K&N, FTRA, and remove the maf screen. these help you accelerate faster as well as get you better throttle response. If you don't have 3.23 or 3.42 rear gears, get them as well as a lsd. After that, exhaust, HPP3, and 1Le aluminum driveshaft.
