Default Pontiac Trans Am 2001

Hello dear y'll,
I got the subject(automatic) and wondering how to make it faster without major modifications and if it must be done some modifications what are those ?
I'm thinking about supercharger or NOS.
As for the supercharger i heard it heats an engine too much, which is not good, so another thing i'm thinking about is NOS, i'm not really familiar with either thing.
So, please, tell me, what would be more efficient and take less modifications?
Also, which one does "damage" an engine more?

Thank you very much

The exaust, (headers) is where I would start, then I would move to a stall if its an A4. Then go with a 373 rearend gear and a maf translator for proper fuel ratio. Add your air lid,pulley's, and plugs and better wires. then use the no2 last.

These are a few item I would start and this will be considered very streetable mods..

Its all really how far you want to take it and you will also want some good drag radials for traction... <img src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

Thank you for your replies,
yes i should post it in the other are, my mistake, first time here, and i was reading forum, and than i was like, ok it's time to post something, and i forgot i as in the wrong one <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
so, here is what someone suggested me earlier:
If Auto:
Yank SuperThruster 9" 3500 stall converter
B&M Transcooler
TransGo Shift Kit
Custom Tuning to delete "Torque Management"
Nitto 555R Drag Radials

With these mods, you should be netting a SOLID low 12 sec. time slip in 6 speed form.
With an auto, expect to run a 12.1 with good traction.

After these mods, you can throw an ATI Procharger (D1-SC) Kit on the car, or a TNT F1 "Dry" N2O kit on and run easy mid 11's.

What y'll think ?
