    tony, what engine do you have? the first thing i would do is have a good tune up, then make some changes such as intake, carb, cam kit. don't forget that if you want to go faster, you also need to be able to stop better. make sure all the safety equipment is also in shape.:)

    Also, 1 5/8" headers and a good 2 1/2" dual exhaust system is a good upgrade. Don't forget about the 500hp fogger system...just kidding.
