If you don't want f/i, go with a tuner, underdrive pulleys, diff gears, wheels, and headers. That's probably about $2000.

Better advice, sell it and get a 5.0.

If you're serrious about the car, there's not that much damage you can do, which is gonna matter, for $2000, but there are a couple of good options.

N2O is a good one but not for everybody.

One of your best options would be to find the most complete M-90 S/C you can find on ebay, and then have a local shop fab up the necesary piping to make it work. Only a little light fabrication will be needed. You'll also need 36lb injectors, a 255 lb hr fuel pump, and maybe a little bit of tuning. But you can get all this done, and maybe some light port work on the S/C, lower intake, and heads for around $2000.

Yeah, I was thinking about that as well. If you are really connected to your car, then by all means, mod it, but if you want something faster, youre gonna be much more succesful getting a different car. Your particular v6 isnt the greatest for power.

Post some info on your car, and maybe we could give you a sale price that would be good, then start looking for other cars that would be affordable and quick.
