If you really want to get faster, I think it would be good to start with an engine swap, but that will cost you a lot of money... Like RR said, how much are you willing to spend?

What's the Canadian exchange rate? Will $4k buy a turbo setup?

its about 2500$ US.

Turbo setups are expensive as hell here and would the tranmission be good for anything?

I'm sure that setup would get you at least into the time range you're shooting for. How many miles do you have on your engine?

40k,

I'm just thinking that maybe with the automatic even after I/H/E the goal won't be reached.

I already have an AEM CAI, and a Catback. So less buying would be good
