ive got the exact same car, and about the same miles, 113k here now, bought it @ 99k 1 1/2 years ago now.

start off with replacing plugs & wires, that'll wake it up some. I have NGK iridium VII's i think.
then go to intake, and exhaust, as if you get the ebay stuff it's quite cheap, and if you want a bit more torque, get a highflow cat, which imo is basically a tes pipe/straight through pipe, because there's no catacomb crap in mine.

then, if you want even more, go to an upgraded camshaft and titanium valve springs & a 60mm TB and long tube header.

after that, i would go turbo, and open the exhaust to a full 2.5" or 3" and get a SFAC2, or buy up the one guy's AF/X Racing PCM.

After that, it's bigger turbo, more agressive tune, ported and polished head, new bottom end, bore and stroke the engine to 2.2l etc etc...

i think i could go on, but with my limited car knowledge, im sure i could pull off maybe 1/2 of the things i listed.

im currently happy with my Intake, plugs, wires, high-flow cat, and exhaust.
Im sure if i got some other performance thing put onto my car, i would get a ton of tickets.

Currently, my friend doesnt have a car anymore because he wrecked it messing around. so im taking things slow from now on for a while, till i get a SRT-4 or something, lol

Everyone knows if you paint your car primer it adds more HP, whats the HP gain with yellow paint?

UDPs...I have heard some of the worst things about these but I don't know what to believe lol. The reason I think he said they are bad is because some people say that they destroy their altenators and etc. I don't know what to believe!!!

"some people say..." and "i've heard that they..." are not facts about UDP's though. Heres a fact, I've had an underdrive pulley installed on my R/T for almost two years and nver had any problems with my electrical system.
