A supercharger. It's probably the quickest way to get the most horsepower. Unfortunately, they run upwards $3500, not including install.

lol i was just joking man. if you had the chance get one. but you'd probably want to know how your car handles and stuff before you add a huge increase in hp. i am not sure but wouldn't sub frame connectors be good for a v6? or what? i am used to foxes so i am not sure about the v6s. someone help me out, thanks.

nitrous is the cheapest way to go. 500 bucks for a good 75 or 100 shot. but its more of a temp thing. personally, i want something permanent, but if ur going to the track, i cant see nothing wrong with giving ur car some juice.

also t/c comes from the company t/c and i perfer then better than s/c. a lot of people make superchargers and stuff, there are crappy ones out there and good ones. you'd really have to do your homework on which one would work best on your setup etc. also if i am thinking right a tune would be good for your car, i've heard tunes even help out close to stock cars but thats just what i heard.

sub frame connectors just make your frame stronger and i heard they really help. when i get my stang i am going to put them on. also for free mods get rid of the stock airbox and you could bump your timing but you'd probably wanna ask about that somewhere else cause i don't really know much about it.
