Just get a large bucket of $$$$ and take your car and the bucket to Speed Secrets. I promise that when you get it back, it will be faster - a LOT faster!

I would have to agree. Go see Ellis. You obviously already have the bucket of money because what you are talking about doing is going to cost you some serious coin.

What's done to the car right now, cause going with forced induction shouldn't really be your first mod. There are other things that I think you need so that you can get that power to the ground and make use of it.

That is a valid suggestion. Ellis has a LOT of experience with these cars & will be able to give you a real-world estimate of what you might want to do, and how much it will cost. Send him a PM (TwoFast4Lv) or wait for him to post in this thread.

There are many choices - heads/cam, forced induction, nitrous, stroker, a combination. Pretty much limited by your wallet, and what you want to do with the car. (drag racing, road racing, dyno/cruiser, etc)

It all REALLY depends on what you are looking for out of your car and how much you REALLY want to spend

here are some basic's

Dependable daily driver. Bolt ons and a small cam with good heads and a small shot of juice.

Turbo can do this but most get gready because they do not spend the money on the back up parts to make it right.

Now if you want "In your face" and everyone under the sun to know what you are packing get a super charger

Again it all depends on what you are really looking for out of the car

I'd do a turbo...I hear they're really fun and make a little bit of torque. Quite subtle too, but hey...(I pulled up to some dude the other day in the parking lot and he thought my car was stock )
