There we go, that's the attitude we are looking for.
You've got a lot of options for making more power out of the car.
-You can top-swap it into a faster GTP engine and have free reign over modding options.
-You can do the ZZP SSM90 kit, giving slightly better power than a top-swap at the cost of needing more specialized parts to continue modding.
-You can still turbo the car and you have MANY options of a build to do it with. However, making extra power from a turbo build isn't as easy as dropping a pulley.
If you are on a tight modding budget and have a good shop that will do the work/you can do the work in, a top-swap or SS M90 kit will work great at a lower cost. Top-swap with cam and springs will run you about $2000 + a few supporting mods.
You can still turbo the car too. A base turbo kit will get you into the 13's and should run you about $3000. You can also upgrade the turbo from the 50mm to something like a Turbonetics 62-1 and get a bit more power out of the build with some other mods.
I had ordered a turbo kit a while ago but ended up canceling it due to family troubles. However, in the ordering process, I learned a LOT about ZZPs turbo kits. I don't want to brag or anything but I'm probably the most familiar person on this board with ZZPs tubro kits.
$4100 will get you a 50mm turbo kit with an IC and BOV.
$2000 will get you an M90 and an XP cam with 105# springs
