all R/T’s are manual. unless you have one Special made which is EXTREMELY rare…

other than that if you dont decide on the srt swap just the basics are:

1. Intake : Injen, Aem, or Iceman intake (iceman the best)
2. Longtube header and 2.5 piping
3. Underdrive pulley: MPX and Unorthodox are best
4. Crane cam: (since the 2.0 mag is a SOHC i beleive, youll only need one. but i dont know what shows the most gains on 2nd gens so i would say #12 cam grind will give a small gain, #14 is best
5. Head porting and polishing, From what i hear Domination can do this.
6. Intake port and polish and 60mm Throttle Body  
all and all i’d say you’ll spend around $1200 if you find some of these parts used in good condition and MAYBE do low 15’s high 14’s with a professional driver…

but im a 1st gen guy so i cant be exact on my thoughts
