The one thing I would like to do is put a little more power. I want to put some performance parts on, but at the same time not destroy the engine or the computer of the vehicle.

If anyone could give me some info on what to use I would greatly appreciate it, thank you.
cam, rr, d.r. timing chain, heads, and an sct tuner or fast.

easy way to dual exhaust my friend.. leave the cat.. and the stock pipe.. but a 1 into 2 muffler on from flowmaster or borla or whatever you want.. then use the 2 exit pipes off the muffler to run ur duals out the back.. bada bing you got a good sounding v8.. you get a little more power. and u dont break the bank. basically a cat back.. take it to an exhaust shop and say i want a cat back dual exhaust.. theylll hook u up
