Default Mod advice

I have a 95 6 Speed T/A, i want to get more *** out of it and i want to do it on sort of a budget. I have done the cat delete and plan on putting a magnaflow muffler on it(not too worried about sound, just releasing back pressure). i was thinking about buying a turbo for it and doing a rear mount running about 6 to 8 lbs of boost, 4:10 gears, i already have Nitto 555R's on it, maybe beefing up the suspension a little bit, and doing a ram air conversion to it. I dont want to do alot, i just want to make it a nasty street car and a weekend warrior at the track. Any suggestions?

Well anything turbo related is NOT budget and adding a after market muffler is double doing work and $$$.

-Headers
-Cat Delete (ORY)
-Cut out (manual or electric)
-K&N CAI
-4.10's in the rear
-Weight reduction

If you do all that and maybe a mail order bolt on tune from a sponsor.

Then start looking at a cam or nitrous.

I think you'd be happy with bolt-ons and then a nice H/C combo from the 2 most likely sources people use here - AI or LE

FWIW, my auto 97 WS6 ran a 13.024@103.33 in 2700da with LT's, ORY, catback exhaust, 3600 stall, 3.73's, drag radials

Thanks guys. This'll be the first car im going to modify. If i can get it to push around 400 to 450 ill be absolutely tickled to death. Im just like the sound of a turbo V8 thats why i threw in the idea of a turbo. What kind of heads/cam combo would be best?
