INTAKE SIDE
K&N filter $50-60 1-3hp gain (some have seen gains when compared to a dirty stock filter, others see nothing)
Cut air lid $60 1-3hp gain (save your money, can be done for free cutting stock lid)
License Ram Air $500 ??? (Havn't seen info, maybe the only one that really works though)
Ported MAF ends $70 8-10hp gain all around (Does help, Removing screen highly debated, do a search)
Airfoil $40 5-10hp gain (no gain, maybe with serious mods 1hp)
Larger TB $150 Will help with high hp engines and later mods(Stock Throttle Body can be bored and rebuilt to a 52mm or 58mm)
EXHAUST SIDE
Corse,Borla, Magnaflow catback $300-1300 (corsa sounds the best if you don't like resonance but is very expensive, muffler elim can be done for under $75 at a local muffler shop and flows better)

Electric pump $200-400 8-10hp all around
Pulleys $200+ 8-10hp all around
Heads and Cam Not Cheap (Best mod, can gain 75-100hp with complimenting mods)
383 or 396 rebuild Not cheap Much better Torque(less costly if you do it yourself, do it all forged)
POWER ADDERS
Nitrous $500 Just for kit 150hp max on stock engine (The saftey extras and labor for install can run it up to $1700, refills are around $42)
Supercharger $5-6k 125-150hp+(Not sure on labor, but not cheap)
TurboCharger ??? ???(There are a couple of companies developing these now for late model C4's, have to wait and see)
If anyone would like to comment further please do. Some of this stuff can be bought on ebay if you like to chance it. For example, I bought my K&N airfilter for under $30 new off ebay and my airfoil was under $10. So even if they don't work all that well I didn't loose much. Also check the for sale section often. The forum is like having a personal mechanic on your side. Whenever you have questions search first. If you can not find the answer there are always people willing to help.

I Want To get A Little More Hp Out Of It And Dont Know The Best Mods To Use .
I Curently Have A Foil, K&n, Lid Mod Changed Plugs,
Wires, Fuel Filter, Opti Spark, Flowmasters O2 Sensors.
THEY Took Out Some Part Of The Muff I Cant Remember
What It Was Called but When They Did It Seemed Like I Lost
Some Torque.
Should I Use The Reg Power Programer Or See This Guy Jeremy
In Tampa For A Tune.
My Car Has 90k On It Do You Think I Need To Replace
Anything Else Like Timing Belt.
What Wt. Oil Should I Use With These Miles?
And Is The Over Pass Thing On The Throttle Body Good Or
Bad To Do.
