Yep. The CAI and chip won't do much.

Edit: Hey, my stock straw is still larger than ANY V6 aftermarket air intake.
I wasn't talking about your car. You don't have 4valves, and if you do and still have the v6 you need to AIM asap.

Oh and LIFTING HEADS OFF THE BLOCK, doesn't arp make things to stop that or did they not work in your case?

I stretched ARP head studs on the passager side. Gasket pinched when boost went down and head seated itself.

I got a good suggestiong on how you might spend around 400 dollars, you'll see immediate gains and you can transfer it to any new car you purchase. Go to your local community college and take a basic automotive maintenance class. I followed an old girlfriend to one a couple yrs ago, it was much better then high school shop, mostly because the people there were paying money and anxious to learn, instead of teenage kids talking about adding adding superchargers to their '83 LeCar's. Your what 17yrs old, 1st, 2nd car (a 13yr old car at that). Shes an old girl make sure everything gets in good order then from there go nuts.

eBay twin turbo is a bad idea. If whatever knock-off automotive thing your thinking of buying of eBay if you trust a 7yr old indonsiean girl in a mud hut to build it, "Buy it know" otherwise donate that money to unicef and get that girl out of the mud hut. Putting a twin turbo on a questionably maintained 13yr old car is a bad idea as well.
