First mod, hands down, should be a tune from Lidio or Marty-o. If you can afford 4.10 gears at the same time, do both; will be like a whole new car after those.

Congrats on the only car you'll ever own.

Lidio tune ran me $420, included shipping.

Worth every penny.

Let's see some pics!!

Boost it, you'll never look back...

Iffin' you'd been looking a couple years ago mine was near you, bought it from a member in Glendale, flew into O'Hare to pick it up...

Congrats on the new ride! You'll love it.

As far as the mods go, you can go cheaper on the tune by buying a used XCAL-2 or XCAL-3 and getting a tune from Zack. I spent $170 total on a used Ebay XCAL-2 and donated a few bucks to him. If you do buy a used tuner make sure it's not "locked" - the previous owner has to return their car to stock to unlock the tuner before selling it. Since you're in Chicago you should look him up

Welcome to the collective. I am on the far west side. I recommend Deans Performance in St Charles for the gears. They did my 4.30's, it was done correctly, and for a very competitive price.

I would go with a good torque convertor and a tune and I also endorse this message, NW Chi-town burbs here!
