Need more POWER
yeah, yeah, yeah 
rock...u ever think bout building a NA motor? or have u just decided on supercharging?
He'll be even closer then.As Sakataj mentioned with my mods list above as far as physical power my car at the time of the last dyno was putting out a hair under 282whp and around 306wtq; with the 20% drivtrain loss it equates to around 355hp and 385tq up from the stock 300hp and 315tq.
Now, this is JUST power. With this and the addition of a high stall torque converter and the steeper Supra TT rear gears the car "feels" like it has closer to 400hp (crank). WITH a HUGE box and amps in my trunk on 19's and 2 month old Bridgestone sports (275's) I STILL spin them off the line. The other day I slowed to around 10mph and punched it and went sideways a little all on bone dry surface.
All those mods would STILL cost you around $6K at least (with installs) when your all said and done. It makes a HUGE difference to the car but a supercharger or turbo application would be that much more impressive BUT it would probably be at least another $4-5K on top of the $6K for a legit setup (from what I've read).
My advice is to look at the ultimate goal of what you want the car to be. If you want a TON of power (but still keep in mind that the car is heavy so there will still be a lot of cars out there faster) go the FI route...even if it means NO modding for a year to save. If you want a fun; still quick sedan start your bolt-on modding now starting with my list.
Also, IF i would ever do anymore power mods...for my setup I would swap out my Borla exhaust and do a nice catback and perhaps delete a cat while I'm there. Also, there is a really cool meth injection kit out there by Snow Performance which puts an ICE COLD charge of air into the air intake; it can be setup to go at part or wide open throttle.
Both can be had together for around $1K. Just some ideas...GL!
