Nitrous. Costs less than your header back exhaust, takes only hours to install and the gains are VERY NICE.

Sub frames connects, bump steer; you might want to stiffen up that suspension for future mods, lower intake spacer, throttle body spacer, after what you have it gets time consuming and pricey. Back seat delete, your wheels are light already, I wouldn't change them but for style only. Drive shaft aluminum, you might wanna find ways to make your car lighter.

cams or nitrous.

Cans and springs are 700-800 plus 350 installed. A good stage 2 set can get you 40 peak and much more after the power peak.

Holley makes a direct nitrous port Injection sytem that runs 1500 or so. You can make 50-300 HP off of it.

How is your car on the regular stuff, hate to see someone spend all that cash on mods and have to change ball joints, and bearings, stuff that would need to see a mechanic if you dont have press? Just sayin'.

Huh... I thought in your original post you stated that you have 4:10s already.

Anyways, maybe polish your head and intake. Have you considered some suspension mods? Even though they don't effect you hp/tq

IMO the only "cheap" mod that adds decent power is an o/r midpipe which you already have done. Everything else you are pretty much looking at 500+ and all the other "cheap stuff" doesnt do much.

Cams are all you got left really for cheap, consistent power... they're not the cheapest, but after that point the parts you'd want are getting pricey and for not much in gains.

There are no cheap performance mods.
