Hard to say b/c you didnt say how much money you wanna spend. Tune, 1.6RR's, Cam, Heads, Nitrous, Turbo, Supercharger, the options are endless.

Yea, we need budget, goals (track, daily driver, road racer), and what you already have.

If you only have exhaust, you have MANY things to do, some of them very cheap, some of them very expensive

It dont cost to much to install a cam and some rr's, which then you could get up to 340-350hp mark
