mod help

I bought a 95 v6 car that has been transplanted with everything from a 97gt. I have no idea where to begin to try to add a few performance parts. Everything is stock. When I say stock Its bone stock lol.

Just looking for the best mods for the buck/performance.

PI heads and intake are a must IMHO

Werd. Add some gears as joe said. Even supercharging doesn't boost those years models to well

I take it that I should probably do an engine swap. Probably cheaper too.

Actually the non-PI shortblock with the PI top end will make a little more power since it will have a little higher compression due to the differences in the pistons.

If you're planning on more than about 400-425 rwhp, though, I'd plan on building a motor either way.

Anything better than stock. Would like headers, xpipe, pi heads intake, Tb, some kind of handheld tuner, and would like some different wheels (has the stock 5 spoke) not sure what they called.
