First things to "do" to a 2000 Trans Am?
Nevermind, ended up buying a White 99 Z28 with only 27k miles in a hell of a lot better condition! My bad for the screwed up thread.

There are three mods that I believe are a must for any f-body:
1. Air lid- gets more air into the motor
2. Catback exhaust- gets more air out of the motor, gives a good sound
3. Subframe connectors- connects front and rear subframe, prevents/minimizes t-top leaks, dash rattles, etc., also helps wight transfer during acceleration
All air lids are the same, so get whatever one you can find cheapest. The big difference in catback systems is the sound. They all perform roughly the same, with the exception of Flowmaster, which I would avoid. Borla and GMMG are great systems, but pricey ($700-800). Magnaflow and SLP's Loudmouth II are great flowing systems that are more towards the budget end of the spectrum ($400). Subframe connector choices are pretty different. There are boxed, tubular, and diamond shaped. Personally, I'm not a fan of the diamond ones, I think they're overrated. Boxed connectors provide the best torsional rigidity, but can compromise ground clearance if your car is lowered. Tubular connectors provide great rigidity, and tuck up under the car pretty well so they don't compromise clearance as much.

First mod should be 3.73's. That will wake the car up.

Thanks group. Appreciate the help.
Are the gear swap's similar to the 8.8 cost's of a mustang, etc?

You will have about 5-6 hundred in a gear swap unless you have someone who can do it.
