Tupelo?? whar's that ya say?

Definitely do a thorough tune-up first hand. New plugs, wires, dist. cap and rotor, fuel filter, oil change. After you take care of the bugs then move on to upgrading her.

If you've an oil leak by the crank it's likely the front main seal, so I'd save up enough to get an underdrive crank pulley (ASP brand maybe?) and replace the seal and install the new pulley at the same time. Don't forget you'll need new belts too, so wait on belts if you can because the aftermarket pulley will change your sizes.

Of course there's the intake, exhaust.. I wouldn't go with a header if you plan on going turbo at any point as you'll have to change it back out. However an intake won't hurt, and a 3" exhaust you can use later when/if you go ka-t! g2g
