welcome to DF...

headers, TB, exhaust, cutting your kegger (kegger mod) and a CAI or drop in filter... all are good places to start.

ooh and dont forget the 1.7 roller rockers... they are an awesome mod no matter which motor you have...

The only thing you dont do for exhaust on a V6 is straight pipe it. Flowmaster 40 series sounds good on a V6.

Probably 20-30Hp, but It will really wake the motor up, throttle response will be awesome too

I would deffinately do the V8 Throttle body swap. Only takes about 30-45 mins at the most and is fairly cheap.

Good luck!
