Is this the best way?
1) Replace idler h20 and balancer pulleys
2) K&N Air
3)Diablo Sport Predator
4) 4.10 regear (won't chg HP, I know)
Any other suggestions appreciated...

Exhaust - headers, midpipe, catbacks, frees up HP by letting the engine breathe easier. Also sounds better!

Don't forget the trunk light - good for a reported 15hp!

(Sorry, couldn't resist!)

I'll also make sure to put the summer air in my tires

How about the diablo predators... worth the $$$?

Good tip on the exhaust stuff too, thanks...

pulleys and predator... haven't seen 'em yet for the V6... I'm sure they'll be out soon.

I'm shooting for around 240-250hp too. I have jba duals on the way. Still trying to figure out which intake to go with... the woes of the tough decisions of the day

Don't think the Predator works on the V6 (at least not yet)... gotta go with the XCal for now

I run a 25 shot with no problems. Waiting to get a tune and new plugs before a go with a 50+ shot.

You will need a tune for any mods you do to the 05 models, the new throttle system basically negates any bolt-on advantages until you tune the ECU to take them. So, yes the Predator or Xcal is worth it.

It helps keep your blinkers from sqeeking too much, and makes em last much longer
