RE: how much HP with bolt ons
What do you consider "bolt-ons"?
I realize you car is NGC, but I've known people with NGC's that were running low 15's with bolt-ons. That's more than 150 HP at the crank if you've got a full interior car... I consider the head and/or cam to be bolt-on. With the Magnum head, Magnum cam (2001 preferably), Magnum intake manifold (rigged to work), good header, aftermarket cat (2.5" outlet, doesn't need to be "high flow", although most are, or claim to be), 2.5" piping, good 2.5" muffler (performs good, doesn't have to sound good or look good), cold air intake, UDP, lightweight wheels, and sticky tires, you should be hitting high 14's, assuming you are 5-speed.
Basic turbo kit with intercooler will get even an ATX into the 13's... no p/p needed.
And for nitrous, I'd go with Nitrous Express instead of NOS.
Best of luck!

Well the head and cam are internal engine components and thus not a bolt on. If you were to go that far you could unbolt the pan and rod bolts and change pistons too as a BOLT ON which it ain't. Cams may be the gray area but simply if you open the motor it is not a bolt on. Intakes exhaust throttle bodies underdrive pulleys are bolt ons.
A turbo is more of a major upgrade but could be a bolt on. Just not a turbo and cam and head.
