    #1 HV3 insert from ZZP, it’s the best "easy" mod I know of for a N/A GP. It is easy to install and gives a very noticeable HP gain above about 4k. The only down side is it costs $200.

    #2 A tuned PCM, there have been a hundred threads on which ones are “good”. But honestly with an N/A engine the differences are probably very minor. Just be aware that with a tune comes the need for premium gas. Also, all/most of the standard tunes assume you have gone to a 180F t-stat. But IMHO I’d pop for the stock t-stat option for the tune. But again, pros and cons between t-stats is another age old discussion.

    #3 Do more exhaust work: a U-bend delete and have your front exhaust manifold ported or install the PLOG from ZZP.

    If you get all three done and want more, I’d look to the valve train.

    Ten years of continuous driving excitement and counting!

    Still slow IMO. Sell your MSD coils and go back to stock so you can afford some mufflers. I'm sure your car doesn't sound good at all with one glasspack and no mufflers.

    MSD coils are a waste of money when the stockers provide more than enough spark.

    As for performance gains. Do a top-swap or go Turbo because no matter how much you mod a GT motor it's still a GT & still slow until you boost it.

    I'm not trying to disappoint or pick on ya I'm just stating the truth and giving you options.
