Re: Hey whats up...

Welcome. Aftermarket parts are few and far between for these cars so pretty much everything you do is custom or retrofitted.

Anyway, the easiest way to boost power in a hurry for fairly cheap is to open up the exhaust and the intake.

Intake: pull the stock air box, install a K&N cone filter on a tube, encase in a CAI box to keep out hot engine air.

Exhuast: Replace stock cat with a hi-flo cat converter (dont gut it tho...), and get a hi-flow muffler like a Flowmaster 42583 (single in, dual out):

Suspension: Replace all the factory rubber sway bar bushings with poly bushings. Get a strut tower brace from a later model H-body from a junkyard (this is a bolt-on part, stabilizes the front end on corners: http://www.lesabret.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=4251 <<what it looks like and where it goes).

Brakes: You can pull a 4 wheel disc setup for your rear drums... this is a do-able project but difficult to get everything to work properly: http://www.lesabret.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=2331 and http://www.lesabret.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1285

Anything else?
