errr.. for gears you'll need the gears + t-lok + install (NOT something you wanna do yourself). that's gonna be like, $700?

the intake will probably be closer to 170+ for a major brand name.

you could get a nitrous kit for $500 and install that yourself and run a 75 shot.

i dunno, what exactly is your budget?

The gears, t-lok, periferal parts(lube,bearings,etc),install labor, and TUNER will run closer to $1000.00. You will either need the tuner or a speedcal. The tuner will give you many more options than the speedcal.

Cold air intake
Ok..so subtract about $250 for the install. Still about $750 for the gears, t-lok periferals and tuner.
CAI looks good.

Don't know about the turbo, but Procharger makes a couple of superchargers for the V6. And, if you plan on doing ANY sort of road racing, Ie: autocross, suspension is a MAJOR upgrade. Lowering springs, subframe connectors, sway bars, shocks and struts, etc.
