RE: bang for buck
Simplest thing = CAI and pulleys if you already have exhaust. The CAI will run like 200 something if its from a trustable mainstream manufacturer (not some EBAY thing) I got a BBK CAI from a local store for about $235 also pulleys you can get em cheap from Autobadges.com. Both of those are easy to install and not as expensive as say... a supercharger or getting some gears that you need to have installed by a garage that charges like 50 bucks an hour and it takes em 3 hours before they even start... (believe me it happened to my dad)

Brand New from eBay: $60
looks like a MAC but it isn't, just fit right.
imo i wouldnt pay $235 for 1hp when u can pay $500 for 100hp
even though its not pratical unless ur at the track or racin a jackass.
