hi folks, after a couple months of wife owning 2006 v6 conv. she wants more power. (i know zero about cars) where do i start? it will be easy to pick out nice wheels and tires but the engine is something i do not understand. is it possible for this car to get some balls out of the hole? and if so how much $ am i looking at in parts. thanks in advance also i have tried to read in your forums , but dont understand about tuners , chips, and pipes
Third on the gears. Dollar for dollar for dollar that will give you the best seat of your pants experience. Of course it does not add horsepower but will make it faster straight line.
If she wants it to be louder and see a few hp gains go with exhaust Borla is nice then get a Cold air intake you will pick up another few hp and it will give your exhaust a little deeper tone you can pick up a handheld tuner and CAI package and see some pretty good gains.

ok ----how does a jlt cai and sct sf3 tuner combo kit , and a pypes dual exhaust conversion kit, and 3.73 gears sound (i will find a proffessional to perform labor)sound? will this mod make a performance differrnce? thanks again
Tune/CIA is best deal IMO. I have 4.10s and a 93 octane race tune. I think the race tune is almost as key as the 4.10s for how cheap the tuner and tunes are. sounds like you are going to start off the right way! now the question is... Do you wanna get a whole new 8.8 rear end with gears already in there to avoid dreaded gear whine and get a stronger rear end? Sorry if I complicate the thread

Bamachips tune + CAI is your best bet for a cheap boost of power. Mr. Ugly is right if you are going to go with a dual kit, the pipes are a bit of a pain. The X pipe offered by Pypes that I have on my baby is great though! I'm getting gears next, and from what i hear that is the best damn mod you can put for a push ya back in your seat feel. Happy huntin!
