you might as well just buy a kit made for your car. i think autobadges knew someone that did that and the guy ended up spending almost as much money on that as it'd cost for a kit made for the car. not to mention how much time it took.

if you want cheap power, i say just get a nitrous kit. you'll get just as much power, if not more at a fraction of the cost.
