Newbie Question

So I have a 1990 Maxima SE 5spd and I'm curious about what kind of performance upgrades are available. I'm thinking along the lines of turbo or supercharger, but I've heard that it's either very difficult or impossible with the particular engine in my car. What's out there? What's everyone else been doing? Have people resorted to going as far as engine swaps? If so, what engines? Thanks!

Thanks for the plug, and just to clarify , I do carry performance parts as well they just aren't on the site yet.
So much to do so little time.

they are still available, I talked to one of their distributors about putting together a deal on them, but then this guy came along and I dropped it.

I know but like I said there not listed, so most newbies come back and post "I dont see it on their site???????"
