though i doubt youll get much hp, cold air intake and a cat-back exhaust might help... for real gains try getting your hands on a supercharger... good luck.

Best bang for the buck? Dollar to horsepower ratio, you can't beat a supercharger. I think second place would be headers.

actually i believe the most HP per dollar is nitrous... although i dont know if this is the best idea. you could always try and shed some weight too... theres all kinds of stuff under the hood you don't need... just take a wrench and start pullin'

don't get a "jet" chip either. i'm pretty sure that it would be more harmful than helpful. i've never heard of "cheap speed" before that ended up working out for the buyer.
