Intake and exhaust. On my old 3.4 I had an SLP intake, RKSport headers, a 3" carsound high flow cat and a good catback and you could feel the difference.

yeah, I have the K&N FIPK, Pacesetter headers, Carsound cat, and SLP Loudmouth on Mayhem. Those areas are a good place to start with. (exhaust and intake)

well as everyone knows... the more your engine can breathe, the more HP you will make... so first, definatley go with intake and exhaust.. after you have those done, then you can move on to the more difficult (and more expensive) mods. i.e Valvetrain, pistons, super/turbocharger, ignition, and all that fun stuff..

I know that one of the guys on here is running 456(?) Hp in his 6 cyl. (and thats damn impressive) but he prob also has a lot of money into it
