There are numerous upgrades available. For the engine, you can install Y-pipes, B-pipes, cat-backs, free-flow cats, and numerous intakes are on the market. I'm sure there are ECU updates, but I have not heard any major praise on them. Headers are not available on the 00-01 3.0 at this time. You can install nitrous oxide kits, Stillen makes a supercharger, and there have been some backyard turbo kits added. Other are experimenting with utilizing the 3.5L crank to make a stroker engine as well.
