Perfromance upgrades

So slowly but surely I'm trying to add performance upgrades to my ride. I'll be real I don't know a hell of a lot about working on my ride, but I'm learning. What do you guys recommend to start off to add some HP and torque?

Custom Turbo Kit or if no money than NOS

Supercharge and headers. Of course they don't exit yet. Read up on the intakes. It's the only show in town right now. Two to choose from cp-e and injen. Both threads are updated in the pas couple days so no searching needed.
What happened to your sig?

Also, try getting a custom y-pipe made. That's where all the restriction is on the exhaust. I got the JP Performance y-pipe on my gen1 and noticed a good increase, especially in higher RPMs.

Is the stock crankshaft, rods, and pistons able to stand the HP boost from NOS?

It'd be interesting to have fuel/air mixture analysis to see if there are spots in Rev Range where the mixture is overly rich or lean.

I was running the NX 100 Shot Wet Kit and my car is perfectly fine. . . actually after using NOS my car felt faster than normal while I'm now squeezing. . . I think NOS might have blasted some dirt or something out of valves and made it faster. . . haha

I'm going to confess that I'm not familar with the kit. Do you happen to know how much of HP boost you received?

The cp-e intake comes with the customizer programmed with a full map tuned to optimize the mix for the 3.3l. The cp-e guys spent a week tuning her out of the overly rich mix that we get from stock.

he wants horsepower, not just sound.

Damn sounds like there isn't a whole hell of a lot to really increase my hp without losing my low-end torque. I'm not really trying to just add on to the sound of my engine either. So exhaust isn't a big deal to me. Thanks for the info though guys.
