well I can help you out "whit" some stuff. First off, how much do you want to spend?

You can get ported PI heads for around 1000-1500 or Trickflows for around 2000. Cams are all about the same price. It all depends on your goals in the end.

If you want to just have a fun car to drive on the street, ported PI heads and stage 2 cams all the way.

I would just find a used centri supercharger and do that... youll have more power and a way faster car.

Depends on your goals as HOSS put it. It also depends on your definition of "a lot more power" and how much money you have to spend

350rwhp is about the max a N/A setup will make, to get higher your best bet honestly is to skip the H/C/I and do a setup with boost. street is prefect because you wont lose mpg since cams kill that.

depends on if ya like doing things the hard way or not.a centri is easier and cheaper.but only a handful of people can make an all motor modular car run good.

You can have a fast n/a car but you'd need a unlimited buget,I recommend centri.
