nitrous is cheap and easy speed, and with a tune it is pretty safe.

intake
catback
headers/y pipe

suspension is also a lot of fun, and often overlooked. depends what you wanna do with the car. if you have more money go heads/cam.

all depends on the heads/cam you go with. also the tune and supporting mods. other things you'll need to keep in mind are your clutch and rear. if you plan on doing heads/cam you'll want to get the best out of it. no point in having 500hp if you can't use it and things blow up on you.k

how much are you looking to spend?
