IMHO headers would be next on the list.  Depending on what you go with, you will get about 10 - 15 HP.

you could due plugs and wires and dont for get the cheap and easy 180 degree stat.

I wouldn't recommend changing plugs on a new 07, not until you get 20K+ on the OEMs.

I haven't seen much of the 07s but I assume their like the 06s in the respect that there are no wires. The coilpacks on the valve covers are hard wired, see attached picture.

You can't go wrong w/a 180 T-stat but don't look for a bump in HP. The T-Stat will help keep heat soak out.

There are wires... They are just short ones!  This is the same set up that is on the 2.7ltr. except that there are two plugs per cylinder...  Just me 3 cents.

Gezz your killing me here [;)] if you want to call the two large ribbed insulated tubes that run from the coil packs to the spark plugs "wires" then yes there are wires. I’m good with that.

The point I tried to make was those are not traditional wires that you would upgrade.
