Default how do i get the most horsepower for cheap?

so i have a 2000 GT with nothing more than full-cat and a mid pipe on it but i wanna do more. I'm kinda on a limited budget with college and all but i wanna get the thing up to 350 hp within the next year or two with simply bolt ons and no NOS. is this even possible and if so, what mods would you suggest??

uhhh.. with no NITROUS (it's not called NOS unless you're referring to the brand), you're going to spend like 10k on your car and still won't be at your 350 goal. code3gt has a full built N/A GT and he's only putting down like 330RWHP or something. nitrous will cost you $500 for a kit. a supercharger is about $3000, a fully built GT that still won't get you to your 350 goal is gonna be even more than that.

you'd be better off trading it in and buying a cobra

there are 2 types of racers.....

those who run nitrous and go fast

and those who are afraid to run nitrous and cry about it

"cheap and fast" do NOT go together w/ " no nitrous"

unless 10 grand is cheap to you.

cheapest way to get hp is to spray the engine. Building a N/A engine is very expensive to reach anywhere near that kind of power goal. Good luck either way but spray would be the best way.

well i really wanna supercharge it but if i do, what would you recommend. A procharger or a typical style supercharger? Which one would be the cheapest way to go? I'm kinda pressed for cash so does anyone have prices and suggestions on a really cheap, reliable supercharger?
