Best speed increase for the money: nitrous

If you want a little more juice, get I/H/E

If you end up wanting to spend more money, get an engine swap.

Cold air intake is cheap and will help for you gass, also muffler and pullies are nice

I agree about the CAI...

A muffler won't get you any hp without custom piping. Also, get a header before you get pulleys, the gains from the AEM set are minimal, but ok if you've already done the major mods.

ya I/H/E would be a nice start..then maybe pullies..cam..then maybe a small shot of the laughing gas (nitrious) thats the cheaper way....A swap is more expensive....but worth it....

Instead of a muffler, get a catback exhaust.
