Looking for some suggestions on "relatively" inexpensive overall power(hp) upgrades. Prefer to avoid NOS if possible...at least for now. Not an expert by any means, but I have to assume there are things I can do or items I can get that would boost hp w/o forcing me to take out a 2nd mortgage :). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

:) Welcome to the best darn site and the most knowledgable bunch of guys you will ever want to meet. The best way you can find any info will be to click on the "Search" button at the top of the screen and type in "upgrades" and voila you will be treated to every thread there is about upgrades. You will find there are actually recommended steps to do various upgrade levels. Lots of info here, good luck!

You are the luckiest man on the planet- you live in Atlanta- this town is a real hub of Marauder activity. The real search you should do is for the " Breakfast Club". Those are people who have been there, done that and will guide you in the right direction. Friendly folks too.

One of the cheapest power upgrades is buying a raffle ticket for the supercharger from the Motor City Marauders.

I would agree with this. Hook up with the local guys in your area who know what is really transpiring behind the scenes here before you spend $. You have a limited production car with a limited number of vendors selling mods for it. Find out from other members what a good mod is and then go looking around for the best price, even if it means finding it elseware. And keep an open mind, there are alternatives to a lot of things you will do with your car, so resist being pigeon holed.

I second whoever said that Team Ford I Marietta is the place. Scott does excellent work.

(Mine's there recovering from some poor service elsewhere)

Do some reading, and if you can make it to the "Breakfast club" meetings you can see cars with various modifications and talk to people. If I were closer, it'd be eaisier for me to get down there!

Dennis R. is close to us, and offers great service - UPS shipments are quick!

Welcome to the club and enjoy the car!
