IF you want some cheap power for the time being. Nitrous. If its legal.

The 7a can take the extra shot of power

Run a 75 wet shot and 93+octane gas (or 91 and octane booster if you can't find 93) and retard the timing a bit a few degrees maybe. Again only do this if you plan on swapping, in . Most work you'll have to do is shave out all the little areas that strengthen the intake manifold on the bottom and top, while you're in there polish the whole thing don't need to do the head unless you plan on taking that out too, the gains will be minimal without cams for a port and polish. Main reason for grinding the intake manifold is so you don't get a lot of fuel puddles in there from the wet shot. If you do it right you won't have a problem with it though. Install a CAI with 2.5" piping. install a 7afe exhaust header from eBay, have someone redo the welds (if you can't) because they WILL blow if you don't and you run nitrous. but then gut the cat (or install a high flow cat) and single 2.5inch from the header back (whichever is easier to find in your location) install a resonator in the stock location and then if you want you can pay to have someone redo the exhaust over the axle with mandrel bent piping and flanges and then install a muffler. Or you can use flex piping, really won't make much of a difference with the flow that you'll have.

running nitrous without a header and exhaust will increase temps A LOT and the exhaust won't get all the exhaust gases out fast enough. were talking about shoving unmetered fuel and oxygen into the engine. You won't NEED to upgrade your fuel pump and you can just install an inline fuel pump if you really want to, but its not 100% needed if your fuel pump is still running pretty strong.

Wont need a tune, but it would be nice as it'll last longer. But if you do the exhaust yourself probably $150 for all of that (going the cheap way gutting the cat, no resonator, no muffler...). And then the nitrous kit maybe 500-600 max (eBay ones are cheap and aren't too bad anything above 300 and under 400 would be fine). Refills are cheap if you know someone who can do it. A purge kit would be cool too if you get a gtfour hood and run the purge out of the two upper vents!

but if you do the work yourself you can probably get everything done for under $600 with a cheap kit. start with 25 shot, move up to 50, listen for knock, go up to 75. If you're ballsy, run a 100 lol but it won't last long.

You'll be looking at maybe 160-170 whp. punch the nitrous after you hit 15mph and then hit it at 3000-5500 and so on. don't keep the nitrous depress while you shift. the rpm will keep going since its not controlled by the throttle lol

THIS IS NOT A POST FROM EXPERIENCE. THIS IS STRICTLY FROM RESEARCH.

Also sorry of the random locations of the info, i just get off track sometimes.
