What else have you done to your car? What kind of car? Speed performance isn't always gonna be the "best mod for the buck". But I do agree with ZEX for that area. Just know what you're doing. What about brakes, suspension, handling, safety?

Turbo!! Power from the start, and a long list of turbo goodies.
I went with the greddy turbo cause it was cheap, and i can build it up as i go along, instead of waiting a long as time to pound big money at once. At least i can enjoy each upgrade at a time.

Depends how much money you have to spend...if you don't plan on spending that much, go with the ZEX Kit like some people are saying...

If you have a "LITTLE" more to spend....GO with a turbo....

Performance/Dollar can't get any better than something that's free So, stripping interior...hell, removing the spare tire is better than anything mentioned so far
