Some cheap mods would be optimize your throttle body. Good for ~ 2 whp. Which headers did you get? Please say they werent the weapon R? Hopefully you got the MSDS headers. Anyways, if you just got headers without a y-pipe, optimize your stock y-pipe. "Knauberize" (remove) your door ding gaurds. Polish your upper intake manifold if you have the patience.

Heres a pic of the polished uim. Copy and paste. http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0RwDgAn8UX8D1cd8k5!cyum*dvJO5XclT2RW9Kw8mvZzXaGtOR DFg73pDAPFJwCv46CzapL9PdiV9fae2fGd3ZcTux8LU3mt6JW5 yinW8D6w/P1010024.JPG

knauberize and polished uim as stated in my previous post. You can both of these for nearly free. The polished uim will probably take you a good 10+ hours of work but it basically free if you have sand paper and polishing compound. Also, maybe do some sidemarkers, shift knob, different gauges (if their available), billet pedals, etc.
