Boost is the only way to add enough power that you are not continually wanting more out of your car.
In every car I've owned, the bolt-ons were enough to satisfy wants for about, maybe a year. Most of my cars get boosted, and the results are always amazing. Complete kits are made for this platform (I have a brand new Kraftwerks SC for sale in the classifieds, for a killer deal) and that's the only way to jam 100+whp into your motor, is FI.
The main thing for forced induction - DONT CHEAP OUT. If you know you need a certain power level, don't buy the cheapest one, and try to ring the most out of it. Skip the non-intercooled units - If I had something on my car, I wouldn't want it to be the lowest selection available out of all the better mid and higher end units.
Buy complete. Don't buy used, and don't piece together stuff unless you know exactly what your doing.
Last - it ALL comes down to the tune and the hardware. There are some great tuners for this platform, just talk to one before using them.
But running a header, exhaust, and a e85 tune, will never touch what forced induction is able to do. If you want more power, buy a turbo or SC kit, you can leave everything else stock and you'll still make massive gains.
