I agree, buy a Kenne Belle and a 4.10 gear. Get the car tuned and you should have about 500rwhp!! I know someone who can probably get one for you cheap

Oh yeah, don't waste your money on pulleys. You wont feel a thing and it wastes an hour of your time.

The best bang for your buck will be a timing adjuster, gears, maf, shifter and drag radials. That will put you in the mid to high 12's. Then spray it to mid 11's.

i sort of agree with 78mphgpr....except for the timing adjuster, i would do a programmer in pace of the adjuster, not only is it better for performance it will allow you to install an offroad exhaust pipe without having to do MIL eliminators, you have a wider range of things to modify such as timing, fuel, fan control, it also has built in diagnostic ability...gimme a call at the shop today and i call help u price all these things out

When I had my 98, 2 years ago, the only way to adjust timing was with a T/A, I guess things have changed. I would also use a programmer if it was available.
