I love LOVE the lumpy idle and the throaty sound of the exhaust.. So I guess I have a few questions and stuff like that im looking to make about 400ish or about there HP... and was wondering on what I needed for mods...so far I have exhaust, headers,cams,intake where would that get my HP wise? I really want to supercharge it but was not sure on what kit I needed to get I dont want to fork out alot of money on a supercharger kit when I only need a $2000 kit... I want a kit that will get me to that range of HP but still going as cheap as possible on the kit.. what else would I need in the HP range do I have to start looking at forged internals or can the stock internals handle that power reliably? What about the clutch and drive train do I need a new clutch or fly wheel or can it handle the power with out slipping? What else do you all recommend looking into and how much HP would I gain out of headers,exhaust,intake and cams and what would that GENERALLY put me into in the 1/4th mile? and how much would around 400hp put me into the 1/4the 1/4mile thanks alot for the help!!!!

If your looking to buy a kit, you wont find them very cheap. More Horsepowers= More money its just the way it goes. Ill let darrel handle the whole trans thing. But i think the stock trans. will hold fine.

Well my talon wasnt stock either I had give or take 270AWHP, so its not too much of a difference the talon has a full exhaust, , redone tranny,act 2600, act flywheel,17 lbs of boost, intake ,alot of weight reduction..so it was by no means a slouch.... im not planning on getting a car and then slapping everything on it all at once it will be a gradual increase in HP and everything when I get it I plan on getting the intake,exhaust,headers and then maybe some crane cams how much HP do you think that would add and how fast would it run in the 1/4th about? I know that the supercharger kits are $$$ but what would the difference between a $2000 kit and a $3500 kit be, just more boost right or am i missing something?
