first off..might want to make the title more eye catching. For your mods..Gears and a full exhaust would be nice.

nitrous , gears , and cheater slicks.

$500 for nitrous
$500 for gears (installed)
$350 or so for nice cheater slicks.....

when it's all said and done, you'll go 12's

gears and nitrous are each the best dollar for performance gain you can possibly do.
if your afraid of it, do the tires and gears , then save for heads

1--TUNE UP!!!! If you haven't already, get plugs, wires, dizzy cap/rotor, fuel/oil filter, K&N air filter, remove air silencer, bump timing to 12-13*.
2--Gears
3--Chassis [subframes, strut brace, u/l control arms]
4--Larger MAF
5--1.7 roller rockers
6--H/C/I (Heads, Cam, Intake manifold swap)
7--suspension (tigher, lower springs, aftermarket shocks/struts)
