you dont need to...

Like carbs... you cant just slap random TBs on a car... they all act different... its one of those mods you save for last... you could end up losing power... the stock v6 is the best one for the car...

swap on the GT exhaust... TB is a waste

Gears, T-lok, and tune is what made the biggest difference for me. You could swap the 8.8 rear axel assembly off the GT if you want to really get into it.

Yeah that would be alot of work. But I make a 170 mile (one way) trip about every other weekend to college and back home. At 75mph the rpms are at
~2700 and I get 21mpg highway.
