Stash it and save.

Then buy a procharger.

Get 4.10's, new clutch, if it's a 5 speed. tb/p, a good tuner, and if you dont do it yourself you will still have money for install. I know you wont be getting nearly the same HP as with the procharger but you will be much better off. A stock clutch wouldnt last too long if ur running boost anyway.

Save up for a blower... Bolt on's aren't going to do much.

You could do gears, but don't bother unless you have a sticky enough tire in the back.

WHAT??? Get gears bro. They are the best mod for the buck! I would go with 4:30's, but a good gear will suffice. It will set you back in your seat and make you feel like you added a mini blower...lol Get yourself a set of 3:90's or 4:10's, a speedcal(speedo correcter) or Tuner, but they are $$$$ if you have little mods and practically worthless on a 5spd with canned tunes. Get a CAI and bank the rest. Run your clutch untill you figure out what you really want to do with the car. Gear should set you back about $600. Parts and labor. (get all new bearings installed while your in there)
