2000 Automatic SE - basic perf. upgrades

Hi,

I'm new to the site and have a 2000 automatic SE that I want to improve. What are some basic performance upgrades I can make? I really just want to gain some extra power. Any information anyone can provide me with would be great, as I really don't know anything about this stuff.

Thanks

Bang for the buck I'd say Y-pipe, b-pipe, S-AFC II or E-Manage and some tuning on the dyno. I think with those mods in place you'll see some incredible gains. Check out the Cattman y-pipe and do a search on intakes. I've seen so many people kill MAF sensors with cold air intakes that I'm VERY hesitant in installing one. I might try to retrofit a Blitz SUS intake for a 300Z or something. I have to compare the sensor housing to other NIssan cars first I think.
