What to buy with $2500

[Fast02]

What upgrades would you put on your Stock 02 gt if you had $2500 to spend?

 

[DBMSTNG]

save a little more for a blower.

 

[xseler8]

Steeda Pullies $160 + install
Cat backs $300-600 installed
Shifter $200 + inst
CAI $180up + inst
Gears +speed cal about $500-$700
Hi-flow x pipe $500 or more inst
MIL eliminators $60

Should bring you about 250 rw

Or LT's/cams. Do the big stuff first, do the little stuff later.

 

[JonJon]

Shifter $200 + inst
CAI $180up + inst

...
PLEASE don't pay someone to install a shifter and ESPECIALLY a CAI. !!!!

Assuming you have a 100% stock car and IF you dont save a little extra and get a blower I would get:

-Gears (4.10s) ~$150
-Cams ~$500
-Full exhaust ~$1000
-Springs to lower the car (assuming you dont have those already) $??
-T/A (Timing Adjuster) ~$150
-Steeda Tri-Ax shifter ~$150
-Acufab Plenum and TB ~$500

That is what i would probably do

Why do they have to be so expensive!! Good God...

 

[Fast02]

Anyone know where to buy a KB non-intercooled kit for less then the $3800 they advertise?

Thanks!!

 

[1low03gt]

Save it towards a blower...Seriously!
Do you need to spend know?

 

[GinoGT]

Full exhaust, 4.10's or 4.30's, 31 spline axles and differential, welded torque boxes and axle tubes, and some Welds with slicks and skinnies.

Easy 12 second car right there.

save a little more for a blower.

definitely have to agree with that..
if you have a manual, definitely get a shifter, makes driving worthwhile...then wait for the blower!

Blower man, and I dont think KB lets their wholesalers sell for anything less than retail. Go for the 9lb intercooled kit anyway. Good luck, go for the blower.

 

[Magius231]

IMO, the KB 6lb kit is $3600, do that now (or whenever you can get $1100) and in the future when you can save up another $1200 or so, get the intercooler upgrade. plenum/cai/exhaust/whatever doesn't even come close to worth it on these cars.

KB also notes that the stock gears work great with their blower, and the optimal gear is probably 3.73's

 

[Fast02]

Yeah, I spent a good couple hours on KB's website reading.

I can't wait to put one in.
