not sure what you're asking, but if your wanting to know what you should starting doing first....i'd do exhaust ex: headers ( long tubes ), ORYpipe, new muffler or even a true dual set up ( research what one will be best for you ), a lid....that is my .02

The 1st thing to do is pay off the car!
The 2nd thing to do is take out a $6000 loan and buy a stroked long block with heads and put in a heavy cam and do some tuning. 460 rwhp. Problem solved.

Turbo or supercharge it. Best bang for the buck. Cost is high, but HP & reliability are top.
