Cold Air intake, tune/chip , throttle body, pulleys, exhaust, springs! Those are great starters!

Sadly, you can drop all kinds of coin on bolt ons and be lucky to crack 300hp. The blower really is the best way to go.

However, if you want more pep. Consider gears, CAI, tune, pullies, and complete exhaust.

summit racing, jegs, american muscle, late model resoration to name a few. 6-8 psi will be good on the stock bottom end but really the tune is key. go with an intercooled kit if possible. cannot stress enough on the tune.

Best bang for your buck is definitely a supercharger!

If i were you I would go ahead and start buying modifications that you could use with the supercharger, like you exhaust, gears and tires. You might want to check this link out, it will be able to help you find a good set of tires for your ride
