good stereo is a must, good brakes, tires, wheels, lights, good cat back exhaust, cai, headers, and i think money is gone.

For $3000, if you shop around and find good deals, you might be able to pull off a good top end build, but that's a big if because it gets pricy and adds up quick.

If you can do the work yourself, get LE2 heads and a cam, headers, a tune, fuel pump, injectors and upgrade to C5 brakes if you have 18" rims, or LS1 rotors if you have the stock wheels. And if you have enough money, beef up the rear end because it WILL detonate...

Good luck and kill Rustanks!!

check here http://www.elliottsportworks.com/ for the le2 heads and cam. you will need 1.6 rockers, push rods, lifters, i would suggest that when you order from lloyd let him know what you want, he is very good and will give you an idea of what you will need to go with the heads and cam. then its a matter of finding the best deal.
