Monday, March 07, 2005 12:19 PM
Ok, this is my question:

I already have headers 4-1, k&n intake, upper and lower mounts, free exhaust with Borla pro-xs muffler and 2.25" pipe, and i ran 1/4 mile 15.82's (with a bad RT 1.22) at 350 feet OSL, what is the better mods i can do with few $$$? Porting ? Polish? anything else?, because i want to ran low 15's

horsepower is not cheap. if you want some power, get ready to spend some $$$
then there is a power pulley, boring your TB, if you have an auto get the autotrans interceptor. there are links to such items that i have mentioned and more in the Performance FAQ at the top

Step 1: Buy a Sawzall.
Step 2: Start cutting.

I estimate that if you cut off about 3-400 lbs of excess weight, you'll be low 15's easily..

Throttle body is the biggest. I had intake, headers, free-flow cat, no muffler... but put on a 58mm TB I bought from Dave and it seriously woke up my mods. Big, big difference.

I'm going to go even bigger, now, and matching the intake manifold up.

When you figure out how to make HP, Cheap, you tell us, write and sell a book on it, because everyon wants to know. Till then, do like the rest of us, and borrow, scroung, trade, and bargain for every part and piece you can.

you have all of those mods and only hit 15.8 ??? i cant help but wonder if you drive an auto? if not, a good investment would be driving school.

Perhaps you have a big "bling bling" stereo system ? if so... that waste of cash is only weighing you down. Take out your stereo.


i cant see any info on your year and motor... but, if you got an eco, or a 2.4l ... you should be able to hit 15.8 STOCK ...not to mention with all your bolt ons... just my 2 cents

best thing to do is get rid of the back seats, emergency tire, get rid of all the crap you dont need in your car. best bang for the buck.
