For the SN95, a true dual exhaust system really helps 'uncork' the engine. From there it depends on your budget as to how much power and performance you want.

For the engine itself: roller rockers, cam, stroker kit, underdrive pulleys, nitrous, turbo- or super-charger, the list goes on. A t-lok to get the power to *both* drive wheels. Then there's suspension mods for better handling and braking. Don't forget apearance mods.

What do you want? Straight line performance, more excitement in the curves, head-turning looks, better fuel economy, better reliability? Most mods give you one thing at the expense of another.

This list could actually be quite long, but if you want my two cents, here is some of what I did.

I upgraded my front brakes to the Bullit calipers with 13" D/S FRPP rotors, and I have to say the additional stopping power is nice, especially with the V6 being lighter than the GT, Cobra, etc.

I also upgraded my gears to 3.73's which has given it some nice "quickness".

Neither was all that expensive, it just all depends on what you want. I seem to decide based on when I need to do a repair to save on costs. For instance my rotors were shot, so I upgraded. My axle seals needed replacing, so I had them do the gears too, since I could minimize the total labor costs, etc.
