Have around $1000 for some Mods

[Kilgore Trout]

Do not use your credit card for mods.

Save half the thousand for emergencies, spend the other half on preventitive maintenance.

 

[RedDaemon]

Find a girlfriend with a faster car than yours, then you can use whenever you want and it won't cost you a cent

4.10's--$140 from Summit Racing price matched to gefracing's price.

I wish that were still the case...

Ah, June 04, those were the days...

exhaust mac flow path catback and prochamber... you already ordered the gears and have it tuned!

H&R sport springs (what ever spring you go with you will eventually need to change the C/C plates and shocks/struts. so wait on those till you are ready to do it all.

Get your choice...but A. get a X cal tuner from www.modularpowerhouse.com .

B. buy a full magnaflow catback from www.partshopper.com and use code " MAGNA454 " (- the "s) to get it for $350. Dont go cheap with weldins.

i still believe the first mod on a mod motor should be a good Kmember such as Maximum Motorsports or Griggs.

On a DD? No way.

Get gears, tuner, and transcooler.

those who HAVE installed long tube headers will know what im talking about.

Think long tubes

After the cold air intake and gears, I found that long tube headers with proper X-pipe and good cat backs made the most noticable difference in performance. I did alot of other bolt-on's ...plenum and T/B, underdrive pulleys, and SCT tune at Steeda....all added a bit here and there..but the biggest kick (other than a supercharger, that may come in the future) was the longtubes plus the rest of the exhaust system. I also noticed improved mileage....as long as I didn't get on the peddal too heavy. Remember, the easier the engine can take air in and push it out the better!

I agree with that. I am going to swap in a k member soon. MUCH easier with a good K-member.

Yea but you may not want to get coilovers like me...the smallest bump feels like you hit a 6inch deep pothole lol. There isnt any rubber, and all the shock goes straight through the shock towers, and throught the car. Its pretty loud when say you hit like instant 1/2 inch elevations in the road...or like road construction...or non/half paved roads .

I think im going to go ask on MD and make sure this is normal. This is the ONLY mod iv done that has taken away some of the DDability of the car for me...cams just a hair but it doesnt bother me.

Wonder how many of those he could get for $1000
