Default Drivable FAST V6

Hey yea, my 02 v6 is ok. its kinda... fast... not really. all of my friends think that my car is soo fast... ( other than my friend matt with a 96 cobra ) but its just not fast enough for me. What can I put on it... thats not going to cost me out my tail, to make it faster.. But its still my everyday driving car. And the way gas is... i cant afford to loose but so much gas mileage. i had someone do a custom exhaust job on it... but that made my gas mileage suck, iam getting thatfixed.... babying the car the gas mileage went from like 26 to like 19. he messed up the Y pipe and*tryed* to make it a H pipe.... didnt work towell

nitrous (not nos), first of all. 2nd, nirtous being "dangerous" is a common misconception. a small shot (say, a 50 wet shot) is perfectly fine on a stock motor.

I was thinking, tuner;underdrive pulleys;k&n intake;headers;etc. And i am putting a TLoc dif. in it. I can not stand that ungly One line burnout

Their are 4 ways to make this car fast:


Nitrous
Supercharger
Turbocharger
Built motor

Anything after the first one is going to cost you upwards of 2800$+


Nitrous isn't dangrous, you seem very misinformed.
