more power...little$$

[ninety9_35th3.8]

I've already added the coldair kit, what else can I do to gain more hp on a low budget?

hate to break it to ya, bud, but HP dont come cheap on these mod motors. its not like the engines of yore, that with a little tweak here and there you could really pull out some power. I've found that its the smaller mods that seem to fool you into feeling that its got more "power." For example, the pedal mod which is meant to take out the slack from the accelerator pedal, makes the car feel more responsive because there is little to no slack on the accelerator anymore so you dont have to jam down hard to get the gas goin. A good tune up always makes it feel stronger, taking crap off your car so its lighter, etc. Most importantly, if its a stick shift, you gotta know how to drive it so you aint buckin and slumpin all over the place best of luck to ya

EDIT: dont always believe the advertised HP gains on "power" products, in fact NEVER rely on them lol the only things that seem to keep up to their word are serious mods like power adders and exhaust components. so dont go buyin a throttle body spacer, or a tornado thingy for your intake, etc. those things never really work like they say they do and sometimes cause more harm by failing.

+1 Work on the exhaust, gears and save for a blower which will net you the most decent gains for your 6.

Wait...what?

Add another vote for gears. It won't add and HP, but it'll make the car quicker than any other cheap(<$1k) mod.
