That is a loaded question. First thing you need to figure is what is your end goal. Just fun at the track? competition drag, power goals, class you're wanting to run in and what are you wanting to spend.
Fun at the track you don't have to do a lot. Just bolt ons and go have fun. Otherwise, if you're looking for competition drag, probably want to look into a different engine. Figure your goals and go from there.

Competition drag especially FWD is a hard one, you have to be willing to spend the cash money for that one. To be competitive in FWD you need around 1100-1200whp and it's just not the horsepower but every part around the entire car.

I would probably stick with a good street strip setup, it cost a lot less now a days you can have a low 11 second street car with ac and still enjoy the track.

If you are looking for a real drag car especially competitive in FWD then I can help answer some questions and get you some info on what would be needed.

I'd just go race the car stock and see what you think.

Yeah, you can start with I/h/e. if you want to be a little faster, maybe nitrous. You don't need to go big to have fun.
But honestly, Id actually start with an engine swap. Put a gsr engine in. Hell even an ls b18b would more than out perform the motor you have. Spend your money on a power plant that you can work better with and then spend the money on I/h/e.
