Best bang for the buck with the automatic is going to be an SCT X-Cal2. It will make an absolute night and day difference. Have you tried doing a burnout yet? Bet all you can manage is the slightest chirp.... An X-Cal2 will remove the torque limiter, dramatically increase throttle response and firm up the shifts... Actually I've been tweaking my shift schedule and now my tranny is incredibly sporty... (I'm no longer in 3rd gear at 16MPH! LOL!)
Lidio at Alternative Auto is now offering X-Cal2 for the V-6. Give them a call at (586) 463-0010. (

BTW... while I couldn't get my car to do a burnout when I first got it... With Lidio's tune I'm now chirpping my oversized (28 inch OD) tires on my 1-2 and 2-3 shifts! His 89 Octance Tune shaved .25 off my 0-60 time over the competitors 93 Octane tune...
While I agree gears and a T-Lok are a good upgrade... I just got mine yesterday! I'm wondering if 4.10s are a little much... With my oversized tires the 4.10s are almost too much... I'm thinking with stock tires 3.73 might be better... more on this later...
Oh.. the other upgrade to do right away... get rid of that stock muffler! Get a single cat-back exhaust... I went with the Magnaflow but other are doing the JBA... The MAC has a 4 inch tip, which I find to be bit much...
