what have you done to the vehicle as of now?

I/H/E is the bare essentials, then from their you need to decide what applications? is this everyday driver or a track car? drag car?

edit "street racer" to "drag car for the strip"
we dont endorse street racing on this site, and im sure you'll get flammed for not using the search button to find performance, there is a FAQ on here thats very informative aswell

Well, what do you think would be a good idea.. are you looking to setup for all motor, turbo/supercharge or nitrous if not alot of money i'd invest in nitrous.. good bolt ons(I/h/e) and a nice 50-75 shot you can easily see high 13's with pretty much everything else stock..I dunno about your driving but you see search and find what you would want a base for.. if your goin turbo.. just save your money it'll be hard but do it.. or if you can't, do the easiest thing for every route.. beef up your fuel system, you can find a nice walbro hp fuel pump on ebay for around 80-90, and some 550rc injectors or dsm 450cc injectrs for around that price too. Look into a fuel rail and that should be about it..thats your fuel system setup for basically any small route.. if yoru goin nitrous start piecing your kit together same with turbo but look into building internally if your goin forced induction, if not just spray it and forget about it my 2 cents.

thanks that helps some yeah i was thinkin of saving up this summer for turbo, but i just check out some jdm motor swaps and i saw a type r engine with 210whp for 4K now I know turbo will give me a 70-100whp gain do you think it would be wise to just save up for VTEC Type R engine and later down road get turbo
