For $1200 you really will not get much advantage with the car, you really need to spend some serious dollars.

Well if you are on a limited budget headers and cold air intake would be a good place to start, but you won't see a huge improvement in power, if you intend to fit a blower, that will be a dedicated ground up engine re build, you will need better crank, rods, pistons, every thing will need to be top quality even to the bolts you use to assemble the engine, just do your home work first.
