the blitz SC is not worth the money.. the hp increase is crap. the XS turbo would be the way to go, except you cant really boost much because of the internals.

the problem is you just didnt pick a good car to start your project with. Its a great car for a daily driver or maybe auto-x. But past that it really dosent have much of a shot at being fast in a straight line. In order to get into the 12's in the range starting to be fast. you'll need to spend aroun 10-15 thousand dollars at least, and thats if you KNOW COMPLETELY what you are doing...
