Mine is a 1997, but with the 4.3. I put a gibson catback on it (don't use duals -- they will actually rob some hp), reprogammed the flash memory with Hypertech (your vintage may require a different chip), put the K&N filtercharger with cold dam and a Jacob's Pro-Street ignition, gapping the plugs at .070". After doing that, I needed some rubber as it would just burn the tires. I put Dunlop P245 60 R 15 GT Qualifiers on the stock 7.5 inch rims (they fit with no interference) and not only does it hook up and run now, it holds the corners like it pickups usually don't. I lowered my 0-60 times by almost three seconds and it does the quarter failrly fast, too. I don't remember the exact times.

If you are on a limited budget, you can do these mods over time.
