cold air intake, flow master exhaust, low temp thermostat, msd ignition, good spark plug wires.

What does a low temp thermo do for performance since these newer vehicles need heat to burn the gas & run right?

The lower temp thermo keeps the running temp below normal resulting in a richer mixture and denser air charge. Most engines .run rich until operating temp. Its really not the best of ideas and will waste some gas unneccessarily

You may also want to run an underdrive crank pulley to free up some power too. Adjust the fuel pressure to 63 from 58 where it probably is. Also check your spider injector for wear too cause its going to go on you.

The CAI, exhaust pipes and coil are all good ideas for you. These V6 sound cool when the exhaust is opened up. You will se how twisty and turny the air intake tube is on your engine on its way to your fender. Switch that up for one of those kits with a wall thing that relocates the filter to somewhere cool and long straight tubing. Thats going to give you the most pop for your dollar.
