Basic stuff to start with is Intake and exhaust. Search "6637 mod" for intake, Search "3in Downpipe" or something similar for exhaust. Bigger injectors but a very large strain on the trannys so rebuilds and whatnot are sometimes done to the tranny, Before injectors is a custom tuned chip to tell those injectors what to do.

Intake, Exhaust and a chip will get you to the first level...
