maybe if you gave us a budget, we could be a better help. A supercharger will make the car much quicker but unless you got several Gs to throw down, not worth mentioning. You might want to look into a turbonator ( i am not serious btw)

Hah, ok.........ya, probably not going to spend a couple of Gs....................

...........Hmmm, a buget......well, for now, let's say anything under $1,000.......

Also, do you know how much HP this car would have to begin with?

190 at the crank (found on another board so dont slay me if it is wrong). If you put in gears like suggested, it wont add hp, but will make teh car noticably quicker, maybe 600 installed. cat-back to make it sound better, free up a few ponies. I would do gears, 410s.
