Hey all...

I've got a 2005 Nissan Altima 3.5SE. Beautiful car. Black exterior, black interior. 17" Alloys, sun roof, spoilers, dual chrome-tipped pipes. 250 HP, 246 ft/lbs torque. 0-60 in just about 6 seconds. Auto tranny that is modeled after the Mercedes 4matics (this is a five-speed, though). And this is all stock.

Now that I'm done bragging, here's my question:

Has anyone actually worked on a 2002-2006 Altima 3.5SE? I'd like to know what kind of hp/torque increasers I can put on it. Obviously some 3" cat-back pipes, and a cold air intake and K&N filter. That'll put it at just about 300 horses, I think. There's not a lot of room under the trunk though - how feasible is a supercharger or turbocharger? Obviously I could put a tiny turbo in there, but really, I'm trying to keep the money/power ratio in mind here - I'm not exactly makin' the big bucks. What about computer chips, or chip-program modifiers? Any help would be great.
