Lots of people reckon higher ratio roller rockers are the best bang for your buck. Also getting higher diff gears.. Thats probably a bit more expensive though. Havent tried either of them.. But lots of people cant be wrong.
I'm after something reasonably easy something that isn't 2 difficult

2 hole mod, (search it) about as easy as it gets :P
clean the inside of your plenum chamber (also search on here) probly a little more advanced but still not rocket science, allows better air intake flow
cat back exhaust (depending on budget) also add extractors and high flow cat(s)
new plugs, leads, filters (oil,air,fuel) and oil, run your 98 premium unleaded (bp or mobil)
just a few to get you started

look at mace engineering web site! also is a sponsor on JC. they have heaps of v6 upgrades.
$500 should get you a plenum/manifold spacers set or maybe a 1.9:1 rocker set or a 69mm throttle body

Go a new thermostat that opens at a lower temp and manual thermo switch.. Thermostat = $40-50, switch = $10.. Car runs cooler = more power![]()
get a mace cai

Rockers for the win!! I picked Up a set of yella terra 1.85 rockers for 500. Awesome mod!! A lot more noticeable power down low. And you can do it yourself easily enough. There is a thread on here somewhere bout doing it. I highly recommend the rockers!!
If your interested i have a twin throttlebody manifold (made by mace engineering), MAF from a ls1 with piping and pod filter for $1000. Or if you wanna look at lowering your car i have a set of super low suspension for $400. The suspension is king springs, ultima shocks and pedders bearing plates all new in the box unused.
Wheels and suspension - Unless you go FI on those motors everything else is a waste of time.
