I am curious to see what people come up with, I've got the same setup and its gutless. I don't really care, my car is for speed, but if someone has a good and cheap mod, I'll jump on it. I don't think a CBE would help much though, just adds sound.

Do you think a cold air intake or ram air intake would help any

Naw, not really on that setup.

It all depends if you havs emission laws or not in your state. If not there is alot you can do from the head up

catback exhaust is the "best bolt on mod" but still wont do much
if you have 31" tires you might wont some steeper gears
a performance cam and port and polishing the head is the best way to go w/o using a power adder
