well you really should come up with a budget, no matter how big or small if you have a number you are willing to spend than you can spend the right amount of money on the right parts. Just so you know, your talkin about roughly 150hp increase, thats alot. Gonna be hard to do with stock parts.

and headers and dual exhaust of course.
