why waste money on a header($400) catback exhaust($400) and a nice clutch for about ($500 with installation) that is 1300 that could buy a turbo kit and have someone install it for more....

he's sayin hes not even that much into performance.. im just saying if he just wants a little more pep, to start wtih the basic bolt on's. for certain people, building the engine and going turbo may be the best bet, but in his case, it seems to me that its not.

also, you're stock compression ratio is 10.5:1.. u could boost with stock pistons, but it prolly couldnt take more than 8psi. (if u do that, i recommend a thicker head gasket to ensure the blocks safety on stock pistons) if u want more power you'd build the engine and get lower compression pistons.

just do a search, there have been ALOT of topics back up since the last crash so it should be easy for you to find stuff, if not just ask...
