Can you guys give me some ideas of what i can do to pump it up a bit.. I already have a bassani exhaust, but i'm not sure what else i can do...thanks in advance for the help...

One of the best bang-for-the-bucks modification would be a pulley swap.
I'd recomend a 4lb lower pulley & new gatorback belt, however a cheaper route is to go with an upper pulley & idler setup. The larger lower pulley will help stave off belt slip, while the upper pulley only setup may have some belt slip.
Either route will give you a SIGNIFICANT increase in power across the RPM band.
You will need to retune the car after the swap.

Or you could just trade it to me for my Fox. Its easy to work on and will cost you a lot less to mod too! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Depends on what you're looking for. If you want power, a pulley/ tune would be the way to go. Combine that with a good Mid-pipe and you'll get a little more. And, don't forget the intake side. A good CAI will help the power output.
If you're looking for suspension, than lowering springs with some good caster/ camber plates are a good start. It all depends on what you want. Give us a call at (916) 780-4646 or stop by and we can help you with whatever you decide.

Yeah, pretty much what everyone has said. 2.81 upper pulley & tensioner, catted X pipe, CAI and a tune are all good starts, and won't break the bank.
