    How much power do you want, and how much do you want to spend.

    OTRCAI, MAFless Tune, Exhaust and possibly cam will give you a very nice power upgrade and fun to drive. Not overly expensive...

    You can bolt on a charger, which will probably a little more than the mods above... may make the same power (again depending how much you want to spend).

    Really need to know a budget... $2k, $5k, $10k, $40k.

    like anything you buy mate, you need a budget first.
    5k will get you started, but in all honesty you'll need double that if you start playing around with engine internals AND a blower.

    some good info to get you started for your model is here: Raptor Superchargers

    i'd be budgeting 10k if you want forced induction. wont give you anything fancy, but it'll give you something fun to play with. if this amount makes you flinch, then you should consider sticking with NA. cams and head work, full exhaust, chip and tune 5k when done nicely by a reputable workshop using good components.

    give a realistic spend limit, and youll get better replys.
    you'd be surprised how many dreamers walk in to a workshop saying they want a blower on a worked block, then walk out white faced when they start to realise actual costs.
