Well seeing as you already have an exhaust, you have around $1,000 to work with. That leaves you with nitrous or maybe nitrous.

Good luck with a 100 shot on a stock engine.

I'm guessing you'd want atleast the engine and tranny. but like stated above you can get the entire swap for around 500 (engine, tranny, ecu, shiftlinkage, axles)

I cound get one with around 40k with dc header and aem for 600 but it's auto. I guess I could part out mods, already have intake and would turbo.

I don't know though.
