Upgrade the Air Intake, then after that probably a Venom 400 (does wonderful things I have heard, do some research), then of course upgrading the flywheel, cam gears, pulleys, things like that.

I have added the items on my signature, and every little thing only makes her better and some faster. Next when $ permits me will be complete exhaust. 3sx headers, Random Tech. High flow cat, and Borla Cat Back.

Not sure about that. I'm a newb when it comes to technical knowledge. I have driving skills, but not tech.

Do NOT waste your money on the Venom 400!!! Total waste of money. You can get the same thing a venom 400 module does by putting your foot all the way down on the gas pedal.

Now then, depending upon how much money you have, I would first get an open element air intake. 3sxPerformance sells nice ones. No need to buy a K&N for full price. Plenty on Ebay for much less, and it doesn't have to be K&N either. Also check out 3si.org. Great group of people who'll help you out and a parts for sale section.
The next thing to do would be to open up the exhaust. Again, if you don't have the money to but a big exhaust, then stick a straight pipe in place of the catalytic converter. You'll feel a good amount of power at that point.

It's really up to you on what you want to do. Check out the N/A upgrade Bible on 3si.org, too.

Here's the link:

Best of luck and congrats on finding one with such low mileage!
