Power is good. I was in the same predicament but it really depends on what you're going to use the poewr for. For straightline power, your best bet is probably porting, intake, exhaust, etc.. and eventually lightening your car. I wanted cornering performance or basically circuit racing which i need overall band power. In any case, a good place to start is your airflow systems *intake/exhaust. A straight through exhaust will give you more high RPM HP, but lose a little on lower RPM OOMPH, and an exhaust that goes from a 2-1 setup will give you more oomph on the get go, but less higher end HP because of the back pressure induced.
As for the interior... hmm... i didn't change too much in my car just seats, stereo, shift ****, steering wheel, shift boot, floor mats, and... that's about it. Well that is quite a bit now that I look at it. ^_- If you're planning on reupholstering the whole car that's gonna cost ya bucks. If you just want minor changes like repaint the trim and stuff, you can probably do that yourself. I'm planning on repainting some of the trim items like the interior door handles etc.. I'm not an expert on painting exterior *I've only worked on motorcycle fairings* but from what I hear, you'll probably want some expert to do the whole deal because they not only just paint the car but they also pound out any imperfections they might find on the car like dings or whatnot. At my friend's shop they charge around 3K to do the whole shibang. That's a little much in my book. ^_^
Well good luck on whatever you decide to do and post pics after it's done! I'm gonna post pics of my car after it's done I wanna see everyone else's and compare!
Peace,
AJ ^_^

I'm also interested in supercharging my '88 SE.
I've done little/no mods, just gutted all three cats so my exhaust is fairly free-flowing. How restrictive are the stock mufflers?
And where can I get a supercharger and/or info about supercharging NA FC's? Is mariahmotorsports.com a good source?
