ANY CAR GUYS OR GALS??? I am trying to add horse power to my Trans am!!!!?

Howdy. I am a struggling student who owns a bone stock 1994 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am(6 speed). The car is in great shape, but has 90000 miles. I am looking for ways to increase the horse power. Basically I will have about three thousand dollars to work with for now, but I want the mods I put on now to be the pillar for future mods like a twin turbo kit. I don't know much about cars, but I have thought of headers, cam, full exhaust, a stroker kit, better ecu(computer chip),ddd....I don't think I have enough to add boost(turbo, supercharger) because I would have to pay install and beef up the engine. I am very ify about nitrous for right now too. There is a guy with a 2002 Pontiac Trans Am ls1 and he hits 0-60 in 5 sec flat....I want to smoke him and be able to keep up with the big boys too. I know it is not loads of cash, but if you guys could tell me what ITEMS, the PRICES, and the HORSEPOWER gains that I can expect. Please also inculde estimates for the price of install for the item

    Your best bet is to get some Hot Rod magazines and start reading. That way, you'll know what you're getting yourself into.

    Hey! I am also in the market for adding HP to my car. I dont know what you have done already but if you get an after market header, exhaust system and a cold air intake your looking at atleast a 20 to 30 HP gain maybe more maybe less. The price on that stuff depends on the brands you buy, the quality things like that. *Edit* The person that answered below me has no idea what they are talking about. Adding any kind of air filter cant add more than 15 HP at most. Do some research.
