simple answer is no............unless you can somehow throw a custom turbo together but 1200 likely wont cut it. I am assumming your talking about 200 whp, look in my profile for some ideas.
Geta header, pullies, auto trans interceptor, secret cams, a bigger throttle there are lots of upgrades just dont expect the world of simple bolt ons, your car would dyno at about 130whp stock so it will need more than just a few things to get a 70 whp gain.

depending on how much you have now....

maybe....

reason i say this... for those who have been here a while might remember Rick "Grumpy" King. http://www.j-body.org/members/12345678910111213/

as i remember, rick originally on a stock z engine was running some pretty hefty shots of nitrous, and hit 13;s on street tires. this might have been before or after he rebuilt it, but 1200$ you can do quite a decent bit.


so it would depend on the nitrous shot you ran and the condition of your engine and whether it holds up.





but first you gotta ask yourself..... why 200? as of today and over the weekend alot of people have been asking how to get 200HP...

is it some article you read in sport compact car as the magic number or something, or just a personal goal that somehow everyone is now asking about?




if it is, then realistically learn about the engine. instead of asking how do you get a certain amount of hp, focus on learning the advantages and disadvantages of the engine you run and learn about what makes it go. once you know that, you;ll spend less time searching for non existing lists of things to buy to get a certain HP number and more time passing that number and not overpaying for parts.

just my view on it.

its all up to you the secret cams are a much cheaper option than the JBP ones but whatever floats your boat I guess, I suggest a set of pullies as well they free up some power. you will not be close at all with those mods maybe 155-160whp with all that but even that maybe more than you'll actually have so in my opionion you have very un-realistic expectations parts dont add up like
intake 10hp+header 10hp+exhaust 5hp=25hp(wish it was that easy but thats not how it works )
