Lets see what what people think the best bolt on for under $500 bucks is?

I will be the first of many to say GEARS.

If your talking about 'new' items, I would agree. If your talking 'used' items then any Nitious system.

i'd say if you're drivin an AOD or C4 it'd probably be a nice converter. But gears are right there along side the converter, although most automatics came with at least a 3.27 rear, which isnt quite that bad, at least compared to a 3.08 or 2.72 or whatever that lower gear is.

But above all, i'd have to say the BEST bolt on for under 500 bucks is this baby right here

Gears, Gears, Gears. No Hp gain but it is the world of difference. Then save the rest for some good heads to match the intake.

If it's a vert, it's gotta be subframes and strut tower brace.

I must also say gears, but at least a 3.73. A good shifter is also a cheap investment that you won't regret.

this is probably cheating - but assuming you already have gears/exhaust - how bout self port lower intake ($50 for cutters), mass air meter, cam, and valve springs? Could probably sneak that in for $500 with gaskets. With a good cam and a lower intake that flows as good as the upper stock, should be knocking on 280 hp . . .

MUSTHAVE302 - if your talking flywheel I agree, if you mean rear wheel, it's gonna be pretty hard.

tmoss - yeah i meant 280 FWHP - which is still an admirable goal. No chance of RWHP . . .

I'm an old-schooler i guess - HP to me always means flywheel.

i'm gonna say gears and a shifter (Tri Ax are good as someone mentioned). Might be kinda hard to get gears and GOOD tires.
