Alright, I have spent a lot of money and my car is slower than hell.

So I was wondering if I could sell some stuff to start buying better components. This is my plan:

Sell:

BBK Full Length Headers ($100)
BBK X Pipe ($100)
American Thunder Cat back ($300)
GT40 Heads ($400)
the 1.7 rockers ($125)


Buy:

Trick Flow Twisted Wedge Heads
1.6 Roller Rockers
Isky Cam (.480/.500 w/1.6 I think)
BBK Short Tube Headers
BBK Offroad H-pipe
Borla 3.5" Catback (Or is it 4"?)
24# Injectors
C&L 76mm Mass Air Meter with Tru Flow Pipe

I figure I can get a lot more power outta those heads and then with the cam and stuff really wake this engine up. Is this a good idea, I figure I can get at least that much outta those things I have then have to just work for the rest. Do you think I will be around 300-315RWHP?

bbk full length headers for 100? are they chrome? that is pretty cheap those and the X will go quick.... but you can get a new flow cat-back for like 250!! so you should lower that price....

yeah they are chrome, they have some rust on them though. I will lower the price of the catback system.

What do you mean by "slower than hell"....how slow? Because even with those parts it should still go pretty good. It sounds like a different problem to me, and putting on those other expensive parts might not cure it.
