You should get rear Gears, exhaust, all the fuel upgrades and a Vortech or Kennebell supercharger with meth injection. I think you'll be satisified....for a while!

If you have a manual, 3:73's are good. If you have an auto, get some 4:10's. If you're worried about gas mileage, it should not suffer that much. You'll get better city mpg and less highway than before.

you looking at spending all your money to get a good brand supercharger like he listed, plus i wouldnt run it on a stock motor. i would slap some afr heads with arp bolts, some 1.7 roller rockers. then on the intake side a trick flow track heat kit with 24 or 30lb injectors, a 80mm throttlebody and a 80mm mass air calibrated to the injectors of choice. this should keep you below your spending limit with a grand or so to play with, place its a great foundation for a future supercharger, if neccesary of course
