whats a cheap way to get more HP?

slvrgt · May 29, 2005

i just got $500 to spend on some parts, is there any thing i can do to get more hp in that price range?, already have a cold air kit, off road H and flowmasters

gears wont give you anymore hp, but it will make your car accelerate just as fast as if you were to give it another 50hp. Cams also a great way of gaining some hp

how much would it cost to get some cams installed?

2001sleeper · May 29, 2005

do gears or some springs and sub-frame connectors, no point in cams this early in the game for you

it's as good a time as any. as far as cam install prices it varies quite a bit, mainly having to do with if you get valve springs, but expect anywhere from 375 - 1000 bux. with that being said i'd get gears with that money

gear=200
install kit=100
install=150
ramaning 50 bucks towards pullies

why do cams when you have no idea if you want to stay n/a or go with a blower at one point?
people typically want to match thier cams with thier laundry list of mods

o, im 16 so i dont think i can afford it, ill look in to the gears

definately gears for some serious sotp gains. 410s are great, i have no complaints at all, really woke the car up for an early mod. Nitrous? are you partial to the giggle gas? cant go wrong there with the horsepower to cost ratio. i wouldnt worry about cams, especially now, unless of you can get some porting on your heads or some stage 2.5s from mph. Those are supposed to be the best for NA.

maybe a li'l over $500...throttle body & plenum & pulleys. I did 'em both at the same time and noticed a bit of difference. Haven't dynoed it yet though.

For the fun factor I'd do gears. 3.73's or 4.10's would be best. Do you have a 5speed or auto?

I just talked to Dallas Mustang and thats what they recommended too, so i think ill do that

Yum Yum Yum! Worked for me!!!

2001sleeper · May 30, 2005

do gears, the fun factor is higher than minor intake mods and pullies.

i noticed a nicer throttle response after I had 'em done. The difference after my gears was nice too (it felt a lot lighter, for the first few days). Either way it'll be a li'l more fun to drive!

if i went with 3.73's how much would that affect then top end?, cause i dont want it to be red lining at 100 mph

its an auto

2001sleeper · May 30, 2005

my 3.73's have me at around 2400rpms at 72mph if i remember correctly. i would say 4.10s if staying n/a
