If it was driven really hard have the tranny looked over. It may be ready to go. You may want to have the breaks checked too. See if the rotars are warped. Before you mod anything give it a tune up. Plugs, wires, and maybe O2 sensor. BTW- it sounds like this is you're first ride. That is one SWEET first car!

Welcome. As said, you'll probably want to look it over and give it a good tune up. Once this is done, we can start pointing you in the right direction as to what to mod.
If you can, put your location and we might have someone near you who can help out.

Nice ride for a first one. 
Hopefully it hasn't been beat on too bad. Having the tranny loked at and a good tune up are excellent places to start.
