If you just got your car I would suggest you to drive it for a while as it is and see if you really want to put any money into your car. If anything I would just make it look a little nicer, with rims and supension work. As far as the engine goes, a turbo is the only real gain you will see. Beyond that you end up swapping in engines which cost tons of money. If your looking to spend that much you might as well just find somone with a 6gc swapped and buy there car. Which could save you tons of time and money especially if you don't have the equipment to do the swap or know-how.

Racing and daily does not mix. Eventually the car needs fixing and sometimes it won't be reliable. If anything have yourself a reliable car on the side and racing as a project. Don't make your daily a project unless you plan to be stranded somewhere, or find that its not working right when you really need it. I've Learned from my experience.

ok thanks for the info i think i am just going to check into getting a turbo, cuz the way it sounds this is not the car for all motor.
this car can be just for racing if it will be worth it in the end. i have other cars i can drive for the daily driving. i just like driving this one thats all
but i guess i can just drive the others if this car has the right potential for being anything good in the racing world
