Practical HP
A question i had before about converting my car from N/A to turbo was answered. Now i have another question. What could i do other than a turbo to get more hp. I want something that is not too expensive and dosnt require hourse and hours of work to complete. Any help out there?

Exhuast, Intake, get atleast a FCD and something to tune the car with (SAFC, etc.). Make sure you get the car tuned by someone who knows what they're doing. That I'd say would be PRACTICALHP without SPENDING HOURS UNDER THE HOOD.
Oh and "something thats not that expensive" is not a sentence you use when your looking to modify any car.

i thought like you Crzy Crl lol.. nothing is cheap, but it can be less expensive if you know where to look... As mentioned, get a full exhaust setup (browse the classifieds on here, you find some awesome deals), change the airbox setup to a cone filter or make a cold air setup.. anything else will require some time on your part.. there are some ppl making 200plus hp with the n/a motor, that usually includes porting the motor though.. expensive

To 88rxn/a, what is an N/A turbo
is that like an N/A chassis that you put a 13BT in
or maybe you turboed the N/A motor itself
or maybe you put an N/A motor in a turboII
what's the deal man
FCD on an N/A?

!N/A2T <-- that'd be a cool technical thingy. (Natually aspirated to turbo)
6PT <-- 6 port turbo
I know none of my abbreviations will catch on but it'd be cool knowing I started something that became widely used.
