If you are on a 3k budget and want some zip for the money the one thing that will move the car more than anything else would be a 4:11
gear set in the rear for less than 2k . The car will feel like 100 more
HP. a $350.00 vararam will help. Perhaps headers.

Easy way is to bolt on a supercharger. There are a lot of superchargers that is being sold right now. $5200-6000 plus $1000-1500 for installation. Then you will pick up between 120-150 rwhp with a safe tune and you are done. When you want to sale you car or trade it in the future, just take the supercharger off and you are done.
