Default How can I add more horse power?

Hello. I am not mechanical enough to work on my car. I would like to add horsepower (no NitOx). Please give suggestions on how, what, costs and where (i'm in AZ). Thanks.

Comptech Supercharger - $4,895 - adds 40% power.

How about you get your head and intake manifold ported and polished, put on a spoon or J's exhaust, get all spoon engine internals, intake, and headers.. flywheel and clutch.. and Rick's Badges and you have yourself a 450 hp s2000 N/A with no torque problems at low RPM...


... and then spray nitrous!

Easiest way is to sell the stook and buy a mustang...

Westmaster,
Your SC install looks great, by the way.

The Comptech supercharger is the best way to get some power and still keep the reliablity of the car. $4,500 is actually worth it for the quality performance gain.

The Comptech SC is featured in one of the racing rags this month (just saw it on the shelf yesterday). I think it's "Import Car Racing" or something like that? The article is advertised on the cover. It talks about the ease of the install and gives firsthand impressions afterward.
