cold air intake with a k@n air filter and a larger exaust pipe and an aero stainless steel mufler. also remove all the smog equipment. and if you still have the pre-catalytic convertors off the headers...remove them...it's legal to take them off...but not the main one under the car...assuming you have the 3.8 that is. good luck

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

there is nothing to really gain on the intake side of the CFI setup, work with the exhaust first.
It's Gumby's fault.
