i have a 93 chevy luimna. and if i do a few upgrades to it i can have 200-250 hp at the crank is it worth doing ? or should i save my money ?

that's a fair margin there. what kind of mods are you talking about? how much invested?

yes its worth it just make sure you upgrade the axleshafts to handle the hp

i was thinking about doing chip 15 hp 10 ftlb, intake pipe, already have a big k&n air filter, maybe one of those electric superchargers 5-45hp, plugs and plug wires 5 hp or so, muffler 8 hp. i think thats about it cost will be about $700 buck. but the only prob. i have is i dont know how long i'm going to keep the car. i'm 17 and i may want to buy a new car in a year or so. do u guys think that pretty good power ? thanks for the help!

Save your money on the supercharger, it isnt worth ish!

Id just drive it, dont waste your money on it, there isnt a strong following aftermarket wise for that car.

plugs and wires wont increase your HP at all,Neither will the muffler,it might help the exhaust sound terrible but other then that it wont do a thing unless a full exhaust system or atleast a cat back.

How many miles, what motor are in this car?

You are better off saving that 700 for something better.

I agree with Detroit Muscle. If there was a strong aftermarket for the car, then maybe. But in this case, i would just drive it for now and start saving for something really cool. Oh, and electric superchargers don't work.
