whats the most power i can get out of my car with the minimum amount of work spent putting the parts in? and i cant install anything complicated on my own cuz ill BREAK my engine.

and im not looking for huge power gain, so no supercharger, and i dont have too much money (1200) to work with.

Just buy all the bolt-ons... CAI, y pipe, cat, custom b pipe, muffler, and UDP. There might be more, but this is a start.

for 1200, you can get a good amount of bolt ons as mentioned...... intake, y-pipe, b-pipe, udp, etc.... But are you sure you don't want any suspension mods? RSB, FSTB are really easy installs and the combo will run you less than $400.

Agreed. Dollar for dollar, suspension mods are more dramatic than performance mods in my estimation, particularly the FSTB and RSB.

I second that. I haven't done any perform. mods yet, but installed my fstb (stillen) yesterday, and man oh man, what a difference. Best two hundred bucks I ever dropped.

You can install the FSTB yourself. You can also install the RSB if you're not too lazy. If you are, take it to your mechanic. He should be able to install it for you in under an hour, particularly if he has a lift.

install is pretty easy. FSTB is cake....15 minute tops
RSB took me 1 hour, most of which was spent in getting the wheels off. You will need a floor jack and jack stands for the RSB install.
