Whats the best way to make power with 7afe??...Suggestions??, Building on a budget. Options

[rapid3642]

I got a 94 ST, now first off i do want to add that its my daily driver, i could take the max 3 days at a time to do a long build. Now i got nothing done to this thing, and im dieing to make some power out of it!, ill defiantly turbo, but maybe i should consider other options?? im not sure, im here to find the best way to squeeze the most out of the ST without emptying out my pockets and doing mods that could risk having my car down for weeks at a time. Im trying to prevent any unexpected down times. My budget in this build that i wont mind doing is probably around 2k, is there a way to make power out of the ST with 2k of cash?? like i said keep in mind this is my daily driver and needs to drive everyday to work and back, so i want to stay out of mods that could easily go wrong. Thanks!

I probably posted in the wrong section lol, if so can a admin move my post to the appropriate forums? Thanks

P.S. Tired of Normal sedan's messing with me and putting my car to shame.

Thanks! I like the very detailed list! and i am considering forced induction, but i dont think i will get the power i want out of it, i am eventually looking to get up to 300hp, do you think turbo is the way to get there? or would i have to do a motor swap to get that kind of potential?

thats one of the funniest things ive herd in a while. okay now Im not trying to be an ass but first if this is your DD I would stick to simple things like a modified intake, 2" exhaust with header, lighter rims, and remover weight( this wont "add" power). These upgrades will increase some power while keeping your car as reliable as possible without dipping into other options. Simple bolt ons are the best way to go for a DD. Take it from me, I have an st as my DD and for a long time I wanted to add power but the fact is unless you have another car, a good amout of spare cash, and a good deal of time your not going to get a 300hp st, super reliable DD that you can make in 3 days. If you want a fast car. save up and buy another car.
