easiest and cheap would be to use the "SEARCH BUTTON"
then read and then post up questions in non BS forums like external engine.

posting in the new owners forum will get some better response, theres even a thread over there right now about "free Mods",

easy and cheap, lid, cat back, FRA, MSD wires and NGK TR55 plugs, try any of those

and remember, the search button is your friend

Dry nitrous kit. About 90rwhp in an afternoon for about $500. I prefer wet-kits, but for ease of install, dry kit is the way to go.

Learn how to drive your car to its potential. That's the first thing I did with my TA. What good is HP if you waste it with tire spin and granny shifts.

Search for free mods, and first mods. The easiest/cheapest way to add power is a combo of those and nitrous.

I would agree that plugs and wires are a good one. Although this might not be HP, it is a very good bang for the buck mod, GEARS. They could make a world of a difference. Also learning how to drive your car properly is a good one

I'd say that pretty much sums it up as the best bang for the buck.

Nitrous...150 shot. Nothing will give you that bang for the buck...except a hooker in Vegas.
