Don't go N2O yet! If you even need to ask that question and don't have a clue as to what to buy first,..then you ain't ready for spray yet!
Free Mod it!, LTs, C.A.I. and some good tires for now. Just start there! That should keep you under 1K for now.
Contact SLP (sponsor) for the hood!

A ram air hood will give you ZERO power gains. Just keep that in mind. Do what I did and you'll be happy: Lid = $100 Any lid will do, they all give roughly the same gain, Catback Exhaust (Flowmasters SUCK, they have been known to kill power over stock) $150 - $1000 depending on if you can find one used or not, or how expensive you want your exhaust to be. I got an SLP Loudmouth exhaust for $125 with 2 sets of tips used. A set of 4.10 gears if you have a stick shift and a set of 3.73's if you have an automatic. $200-$500 depending on gear price and installation labor. You can easily stay under $1000 and drop a half second or more off your ET. Those mods on my car gave me 7 tenths off!

ya i put a couple hunderd in each wheel and woke up to find polished zo6, put a few hundred on the hood and wook up with an rksport SS, but then i got greedy and put a thousand under the hood and found coated long tube's, y pipe and a lm1 all bolted up along with a lid and some other intake items.
tried it on the old lady, woke up to nothing different but the money was gone
