well boost then?
at the end of the day,it's still an econobox..and contrary to popular believe,changing filter and spark plugs do not give you instant power  |

that still too big
anything more than an inch or 2 over stock is wasteful and with your engine thoroughput,that'll just slow down your car |

Base on your question, what are you looking for as HP goals.???? What are you planning for drag, soldex, rally etc??? or you just looking for street drag performance???
Those is things to consider first then you will be able to modified from there so you don't waste money. The next thing is i gather you running 18" wheels, you need to go back with stock size wheels, you will get much better ride and it will be better for the suspension plus it will be easier on the tires as they will have more cushion to accept better impact from the road TnT have these days... |

Then just do a cold air intake upgrade, and some headers with a good exhaust through out. You then can upgrade to a better/ lighter Flywheel with a upgrade Clutch and pressure plate in the future. The car will hook nice and swing the rpm fast and it will be reliable on the street . There is more i can tell you about but it depends on the money you want to spend because it will need to be tuned with the other mods... |

The cold air you can do yourself, queit easy to do. The exhaust you can go to any exhaust shop and have them installed it for you. Just buy all the exhaust you need like the headers and exhaust to match and then go to the exhaust shop and get it installed. Or maybe you may have a friend that is willing to help you out to install the exhaust if they know how to and have the tools with jack stands etc...then you guy's could have a Bar-B-Q after lol... |
