ok hears the deal i work at a car dealership, and im learning stuff from the mechanics there as much as possible, but they really just know the basic car knowlege. I have a bout 200$ a week to play with and sink into my car, so can anybody give me some kind of tip to juice my car up on this budget?

The first thing I would do is gears.

It would help us to make a sig. What year is the car? What transmission? What have you done already?

I still say gears next. 3.73's would be good, but if you do a lot of hwy driving then 3.55 will help save some mileage.

After that it just depends on how far into you want to get. Exhaust would be a simple mod to have done.

I would look at doing a split port swap. A lot of '94-'95 3.8's have head gasket issues anyways, so it'd be a two birds with one stone kind of thing; pick up at least 40hp and avoid a potential problem. There are now a decent number of '99-'04 cars in salvage yards to get the split port parts from.

BTW, if you do find a '99-'04 car in a yard, grab the front brake calipers as well. The difference is crazy. I miss the brakes in my '01 V6. But my '95 is getting Cobra calipers up front tomorrow.

You are only limited to 3.73's and 4.10's in a 7.5" rear . You will need to upgrade to a 8.8" if you want 3.55's.

american muscle sells them but I would get a FRPP set over Motive.
