Yet another next mod question :)

FivepointOH · 02-22-2001, 05:04 PM

Ok I have about $300 to spend after my brake upgrades(maximum motorsport brake upgrade kit). I NEED some more power.

I would like to get some more power N/A but I don't think I will get much for $300, should I just save the $300 for a nitros kit? I don't think I will be doing heads/intake/cam until I get out of college(money issues) in 2 or 3 years and need a new motor(unless mine blows up). Anyway are there any n/a upgrades for $300 that will give me a decent amount of power or should i just save for the nitros... or look into getting a used kit for $300... any and all opinions appreciated....mods are in the sig

Nitrous is a good idea, but if you want to stay NA, then your choices are limited. I did the small mod here and there routine and was routinely disappointed. I would say save just a tad more and get a converter. Mine made worlds of difference and was around $400 or so with the solid input shaft. There is not much else you can do if not doing heads/cam/intake. You could always get some 1.7 or 1.72 rockers. You could also get an intake, I know of a GP on the new Mac for like $300 delivered.

How about a stall? If you get a cheaper one and put it in yourself it shouldnt be too much over 300. Just an idea.
