If you don't want to bust the bank go with gears, mid-pipe, cat-back, throttle body/intake, a 91 or 93 octane tune and maybe under-drive pullies. That will usually get you into the 250-260 rwhp range for around $2200. If you want an extra punch but don't have the cash for a blower then nitrous is the way to go and is pretty safe if done correctly.

Autos are usually in the 215 area and manuals get maybe 225 stock. Sometimes you get a factory freak that's 5 hp higher.

Yeah what I would do first is borla exhaust,K&N CAI,373 gears, that would be a good start or save up and get a procharger then do intervals then throw on n2o

First, you should do a little checking on your drivetrain and make sure you clutch, flywheel, u-joints, etc need some attention because you dont want to get into making much power to find you wasted your clutch or whatever and dont have $$$ to fix it. Then do exhaust and intake and get an Xcal 3 handheld and see if thats close to what you want. Then if thats still not enough, go with a nice stage 2 cam that will give you a little lope butstill remain driveableand maybe a nice little shot of "go juice". And if this isnt your daily driver, then you may want to get some ported heads and do a head and intake swap.
