Just read all the countless other threads just like this one to get ideas.

The first thing i did was get a catback, then id recomend get a intake, at least then you will increase your gas mileage some.

if you dont plan on FI, get a intake and allow that engine to breath. Then work from the header back.

You cannot. Those "Chips" do not work and are scams. If you want a higher top speed, get a friend with tech 2 and have him reflash your car with the higher rated tire. OR get a standalone engine management system.

Tech 2 is the GM program that allows them to connect to the cars computer. Its roughly a $5,000 system so if you have it you are one lucky SOB. But it connects to your OBDII port.

You can try, but i doubt it as its a safety thing. If you top out at 105 it means your tires will blow up anything faster. If you have better tires they "might"

Question
What do you want a higher "top speed" for and where the hell are you going to use it?

Theres no way to do it unless you have access to tech 2.
