Take it from someone who has spent entirely too much money on his car. Our cars are rated for a 15.7 1/4 mile bone-*** stock, depending on altitude and whether you got the good gears and LSD or not. Gears drop the 1/4 mile times a bit, but still in the 15s.
'Little' mods are things like intake, exhaust, plugs and wires (if you really consider those things 'mods'), and gears/differentials. Big mods require you rip into your engine, like heads/cam packages and the like. My car, with intake, exhaust, MAF/TB porting, and wider tires was still a 15.4 second car.
Now I've got the whole motor done, trans, rear end, and comprehensive tuning. See my CarDomain for the shopping list I went through. NOW it's a 13 second car.
Little mods won't get you your 14s unless you plan on ripping out your interior and sitting on a milk crate. And gutting the interiors on these cars just isn't nice.
Easiest mod for you to do would be nitrous if you want to maintain your daily drivability, as turbo/supercharger setups can be tedious if you're not wanting to get into huge money and time to get them right. Nitrous is a flick of a switch, and the kits generally come with all you need to get it running right. Then you'll have your 14s. Whether they're high 14s or low 14s depends on you, the driver.

hes pretty stock just has a dam good tune and weight reduction so i stand by what I said that a little modded v6 can get into 13s with just little mods. He has no cam, heads, nitrous, turbo, sc, headers, etc....just some things and tune that counts to little mods.

That tune is huge, and look at all the **** he removed. Are you building a drag-strip only car, or do you actually want to enjoy your car on the street?
I'd rather have a 13 second fully daily drivable car than a 12 second drag-only car. And I'm curious to know his altitude, because all that should not equal a 13.5. I'd ask to see a timeslip.

a turbo set up isn't that difficult, the only thing most people can't do is the welding or piping for exaust or intercoolers. the rest is pretty easy, a bigger fuel pump, regulator, injectors, retuned ECU, turbo, turbo header or headers which bolt right on, and a line off your oil pan to cool the turbo. and you're pretty much good to go.

Your car looks awesome, although the rims do make it look "dirty". You would really tear all that stuff out? Your starting to remind me of the neons around here.. Tear out their whole interiors..
