My question is, on a low budget, where am I to go next for more power. I don't really want to go nitrous and college has most of my money tied up. I like the idea of supercharging but Im not too familiar with them. I'm up for suggestions and appreciate any help. Thanks.

looks like u've covered it all, except for the power adders, nitrous/supercharger....you could TRY a little bigger MAF and throttle body......and try to get a few more HP out of it, but other than that man ...nm

How abou6t doing a little suspension work to it..I know it's not a power mod,but you'll be surprised what a nice set-up will give you at the track...All the power in the world is for not unless you can put it to the ground properly...I'm assuming you alredy have subframe connectors....How about a nice set of 90/10s up front and some 50/50s in the back(shocks)...Some 4 banger springs are known to help out alot as well.I personally run 5 way adjustable Tokikos all around with FRPP Springs...They kick arse...


PS.I wouldn't go bigger on the MAF unless you went to a blower...Your MAF/TB combo looks to be right for what you have right now...Even if you got some juice.

S-trim if you can go with a blower, or get a MAC 3" exhaust.

do the suspension
upper and lower control arms subframes struts and shocks and that should make it feel a lot better

I'm with mondo - I'd get welded-in subframes on it before I did anything else....

Budget...?? Supercharger...?? that doesnt compute!! LOL

The cheapest way to get power for the LEAST amount of money IS N.O.S. !! Use it when you need it !! and save a LOT of money compared to what your looking into...

Just me.........................

suspension...if ur looking into handling get lowering springs/ caster camber plates/ shocks and struts/ torque arm, panhard bar etc or if ur into drag racing get some drag springs with shocks/struts etc.....

but start off with some subframes and control arms
