That's the only way to get more power without going through headache of modding.

Figure that the cost of a turbo or a supercharger would be $10,000 give or take a few grand, just roll that over 3 years and lease one of the aforementioned beasts.
Good luck with your decision.

Besides the RPI route (intake and exhaust) is there anything else? Anyone have suggestions besides the floor mats and putting the "M" on the trunk....hahhaa 
Otherwise, it might cost you an arm and a leg to upgrade to V8.

Replacing your spark plugs and upgrading your air filter are too cheap and effective "upgrades."
if so, is there a particular brand that does the job better?
