don't waste any money on axles.

Best way to go is Turbo. most bang for the buck next to nitrous.

What direction do you want to go with the car?? I like my turbo, but if you are asking what to do to make it faster, I would'nt suggest slapping a turbo on your car. Just stay on this board and read as much as you can and in no time you should be able to answer your own question!

A nice turbo setup coupled with propane injection will get you down the road plenty fast. Add some decent suspension and tires and you should be in business.

not really. you can get by on a stock motor and a mild amount of boost. 6-9psi

If you get a turbo kit just stick to the psi they recommend. Its when people crank up the boost over 10 psi they usually run into problems.
