Get some gears. best bang for your buck. go with 373 or 410. if i were to do it over again id go with 410s. also the sct tuners are nice to play with

I'd do gears, subframe connectors, short shifter or shift kit, high flow mid pipe, then shocks/struts/cc plates/springs.

^^^yeah what they said^^^^..but coming from personal experience if I had to do it over again I would save up for an engine rebuild jus in case after installing all those bolt ons you blow something up good luck :-)

Laundry list for your new project.
In order;
1)Full Coverage Insurance
2)Aftermarket adjustable shifter - This will save you money in the long run as it will keep you from cracking shift forks. Makes the car more fun to drive as well.
3)3.90 gears - nice split between 3.73 and 4.10. Best bang for the buck performance enhancement.
4)Any cat back you want. This will add nothing to performance but will make driving it more fun.
5)Sub frame connectors. Just a good idea. Improves tortional stability and will make the car feel more "solid."
Programmer and dyno tune. This will bump power slightly but the increase in throttle response will make driving more fun.
As for the suspension upgrades, F springs/Eibach pro kits are common for that car but make sure a bump steer kit is installed as well as caster camber plates. Tokiko makes a pretty decent shock and strut combo. If drag racing is your thing, leave it alone for now but either way you go make sure to at least upgrade the bushings in the lower control arms. Aftermarket arms would be better though.
