you want the BEST way for speed with that amount of money?? nitrous...
get a decent nitrous wet kit for around 500 or 600... and use the rest on getting a cold air intake, header, and exhaust... look for used intakes, headers, and exhausts here on this forum, get the nitrous kit new....
pulleys work really well too... if you add all of what i mentioned above, you will see over 200 wheel horsepower depending on the size of ur nitrous shot...
im an auto with header, cold air intake, nst pulleys, s-pipe, exhaust, and 65 shot nitrous... im seeing 200 or over wheel when i spray.. and even higher torque... if ur manual ull see a bit more than that... youll TOAST v6 mustangs with that setup

if you go super or turbo charger... you WILL wear your engine down much much faster... people go 2 years without major problems and feel accomplished... what does that tell you? nitrous is on call horsepower and will not hurt your engine as long as u know what you are doing

As long as you know what you are doing goes for all of them, not just nitrous. You can just as easily blow an engine on "nos" as you could from "boost" so don't dilute the kids head with the wrong "facts" that you so eagerly put down.

im not hiding facts at all... its a FACT that if you have a super or turbo, you will be boosting more often than if you have nitrous... therefore, you are putting extra stress on the engine MORE OFTEN... yes, u can blow ur engine with either... but its a FACT that the engine wears down MUCH faster with super or turbo chargers...
dont know why you would even dispute this

Wrong. Any form of forced induction will cause extra wear and tear. Be it nitrous, super or turbocharger. They all do it. The tune and how its driven, more than anything else, will determine the extent of damage, NOT what form of F.I. you use.

Don't forget that that 4 hp you scavenge from bolt on A, B, or C may end up in a different area of the torque curve. The tC isn't exactly the best platform to turn into a powerhouse. It's a great compromise between performance and economy.
Trade up to a RWD platform and a V6/8 or some F/I? As for being a kid . . . be happy you have a car and it's reliable. Nothing sucks like having an unreliable car (even if it can shake loose a bran muffin at idle).

NITROUS, its safer than people make it out to be....in lots of ways safer than turbos and s/c's but stick with a 75 shot or lower and make sure its a wet shot....
the best/ cheapest nitrous kit is the NOS sniper efi kit it runs about 300 dollars comes with everything ull need to get your self 75 hp and about 100 more tq
