you know, unless you have a dad or a mentor to help steer you on the right course, its easy to do stupid modifications and be a ricer...hell, I started out as one. I actually paid someone to install an aem short ram intake when I was 16...

I dont think that I really started learning until I discovered the endyn forum.

Larry widmer has done a great deal (though not personally) to make me interested in engines...I havent washed my car since.

just do the basic stuff if you're on a budget. intake, header, exhaust, lightweight flywheel, clutch, 14" wheels. ported intake manifold and *if necessary* a larger throttle body. call RPW to see if you cant get a street grind cam for it. get a simple fuel tuner (SAFC) and tune it with a wideband o2.

there's lots of little stuff you can do...it wont be a screamer, but it'll have more "go" if you do it right.
