Save for heads or gears. You won't regret it, don't waste your money

that would be my first step. gears plus install plus new clutch packs would prolly be right around 5-600 and will wake it up very nicely.
while a set of decent gt40 heads and an intake will run you around 4-500, you'd also need things like gaskets, valvetrain, etc to get it set up right so you'd most likely be around 1000 for this, altho you'd feel more of an omph from this.

IMO he should do gears and a used supecharger. He'd be more than pleased with that. Then almost any mod from there you'd notice a difference

Im still trying to figure this all out. Once I get my career started I will be able to afford to good stuff such as heads, supercharger and so on. Right now I just want to drive it.

I needed the CAI due to not having an intake plus an upgrade would be nice at the same time IMO. This build is going to take a long time till I get it perfect but I am already loving this car more than my past cars.

Make sure the car is in working order b/4 you invest in go fast goodies.
Also, you may want to consider a subframe connector, torque box
strengthening, better brakes (73mm work great) etc.
Get a good shifter (Ebay), change all fluids, and have fun.

Alright, I will be getting some extra body parts, hopefully this weekend. The good news they are all free. All the parts are DENT FREE as well.

Parts include:
Fender (RH side)
Fender (LH side)
Hood
LX tailights
Dr. Gas Stainles Steel Xpipe (Brand new and being shipped)
and studs for the Long tube headers.

The bad news is that they are all grey and wont match. But who can complain when the parts are free?

To bad you weren't around me a few weeks ago, just cut a 93 in half and scrapped it.
