The typical mods are the best mods, filter, lid, maf and exhaust. If you got an auto a torque converter and a get set of tires will net you low 12s high 11s. And AWD? that be pretty much impossible

you could do AWD but it would likely cost about 20 grand and you would have to chop up the car.

And for mods...MARS302 has the basics covered.
If your worried about traction just get some nittos or BFG drag radials.

AWD would be easy!!!! (not really)

id have to guess get a bell housing conversion and use the bronco 4x4 drivetrain (a bellhousing could be easily made to convert it to the GM block bolt pattern i would think. but its ALOT of money and especially time to do everything the right way. pretty pointless if you ask me...youll just lose more power, and get less mpg

thanx, yeah i was unsure if it was even possible to get all-wheel drive but i though if it was it would help with my traction problem, i have Flowmaster exhaust and yes it is a auto.

Is Upgrading the Headers or Ram-air intake a good idea or should i not waste my time? Also i was wondering if i should get a new rear gear, maybe a 3.73 ( it has a 3.23 now)

or does anyone else have some ideas?
