Lots of stuff. Probably the easiest and simplest first mod is a catback. Then start searching around TGO.

And if you have an auto, you do NOT have the H/O motor. Those were only available with a 5-speed. You probably have an LG4 if it's a 4bbl V8.

Yes, if it doesn't have "5.0 Liter High Output" badging, and it's an auto with a 4bbl carb.. That means its an LG4 305 motor.

Yes, please update your user profile.

(Just to verify, check the eighth character of your VIN - most likely, it's an "H".)
