Most ponies for the buck

[Tod]

I'm a very proud owner of a '94 GT 5spd. And I couldn't be happier with it. But the only thing I need are a few extra ponies to give me peace of mind knowing I won't be embarassed by the Z28 owners in my home town. When all is said and done, the hp for me would be to end up with around 255-260+ hp. But being only 20 years old, the money to pay for the mods needed doesn't exactly come rolling in. So what I need from one of you knowledgeable folks here, is to give me ideas for the best bang for the buck. The only thing I will not put in the car is Nitrous Oxide. I don't mind the extra boost, but that would seem like the car is on steroids, I'm a big fan of "natural hp". So, I hope you guys have some ideas.
