I am going back to the track on wednesday and want to do everything I can in the next few days to get as much power as I can.Do you guys think I would see any gains going to an electric fan or get lca's.I have about 200 bucks to do something but I want to see a gain but I doubt I will be able to get a big gain with 200 bucks.

1 vote for LCA's. They will help give you the traction you need.

Put the $ in the suspension to get the car to work for you.

Is this your daily driver? Do you get good enough traction now? I'd go against the fan for now. Good thing to do but not crucial.

See u got the same exact exhaust set-up as me. BBK>BBK>Flows.
I'm getting the same gears. Have the same hood. Do NOT like the Saleen wing though sorry. I'm a GT kinda guy.

Anyway, I'm thinkin LCAs are good but you also don't have an intake maniflod in your combo or any fuel things. Maybe get some 24#, bigger TB, 1.7 RRs, upper intake, i dunno. Any of these can really be done for 200 I think. Im a carb guy so I'm not 100%. In the end I say go with the LCAs.

The Fox said:
Pretty much EVERY part, IMHO is roughly 200.

LCAs, Springs, RRs, Intake Manifolds, Some Carbs, Shocks, MSD ignition, Battery+Relocation, Alternator, Midpipe, After-cat, cheap headers.

...to name a few

lol, you're into the carb thing huh... Never seen an FI intake for 200 bucks... even used lol. I used to own a carbed Mustang.... Those were the days.............................

another vote for LCAs. HP and torque are useless if you can't get put the power to the pavement.

Wouldnt LCA's put more of an impact on your stock supported lower TQ boxes?

I say get the LCA's but....I would consider reinforcing the TQ boxes. OR getting some full length subframes also.
