cams....save more and boost.....there are a lot of things you could do, but don't just settle on little shit just because you have money now. Why not save and get something better in a while??

You cant just increase the fuel. Any kind of change to air/fuel ratio needs to be tuned properly. I think theres a supercharger out for your car if im not mistaken. Do a search. 400 wont really do anything thats going to make significant HP.

Well that depends on what u think of better performance. A turbo will give you a bigger boost at higher rpms and will also give you better power. A supercharger is a more consist boost from low to mid and tends to drop off. Both are a good choice. However, personally i would get a turbo just cuz i like the sound LOL :)

first of course intake and exhaust better air flow more horse but after then you can do a couple diffren't things i would go for the throttle body spacer for an extra 6-10 horse always can get headers or start with the internals that wont show that much right now but after alot it will build quickly.

Get one of those performace chips on ebay as well. That will get you another 20% horsepower increase.
NOT!
I'd just save up for a turbo or SC. Might take a while, but all the bolt ons won't get you that much HP gain.

dont go w/ a throttle body spacer, just a waste of money for a ridged metal tube.....doesnt do shit, anything else is okay by me. it all depends on how long u plan on keeping the car and how much u feel like dropping on it in the long run. i would just go w/ a intake, and full exhaust, maybe new cams, but dont get a turbo or s/c if ur not gonna have the car for a while.
