There are a lot of things you can do, but if you're looking for a real power increase a supercharger, turbo, or nitrous would be the best bang for your buck. All the little bolts ons won't get you that far. What kind of motor is in your lumina?

Ya there isn't a large market for performance parts for that particular vehicle. You could always do a custom setup OR you could go the other route and hook up a nitrous hit.

you could cheaply put on a good exaust and cool air intake

Or you could not waste any money on that car and save some money and buy a hotrod later..

Does anybody else find it quite odd that he's buying performance parts for a LUMINA???

only as odd as chevy pushing it as a performance vehicle in the first place.
