i was wanting to buy a mod chip off of ebay for my 91 firebird for some quick power for not alot of buck is this a good idea? and if not what is a good cheap power adder that like i said dont cost much alot of bang for not alot of buck as i should say.

 

most people will attack you about even mentioning buying a computer chip on this site about how horrid there designed (ive learned)beware! lol....

IMO some good CHEAP add-ons i would get a K&N air filter , Switch to Synthetic Oil and maybe if u want pull some weight off ur car Ex: A/C or if you wish to the Smog pump and also try to knock down the engines heat as well...

 

Well, I hate to say it, but fast and cheap don't go in the same sentance.(except right there).

"You get what you pay for" applys to cars very well.
Cheap parts are just that, cheap parts(Junk).

However, nobody wants to spend more than they have to. My suggestion is to learn about every nut and bolt on your vehicle, study this forum endlessly, and plan out what you want from your car at the start. That way, all of your parts that you buy will work together well. That will get you what you want, for the least amount of hard-earned cash.

Technically, the cheapest REAL power adder is nitrous. IMO though, N20 is for people who want to go faster than the rest of car will allow. It's alot easier to break parts, and in the end, that will cost you more(possibly car, limb, or life).

 

D'ARGH!
Read the label on this forum, "power adders" is for forced induction, ie, superchargers, turbo chargers, nitrous.

You are asking about something to add more power. Yes, same basic idea, but not what this forum is for.
Use the tech/general engine forum for that.

oh, exhaust, specifically, headers. Cold air intake. Those are the cheapest, bang for buck things going.
Subframe connectors, don't make you go faster, but bang/$ is high, as far as handling goes.

 

well considering i cant say to words on this website about making my 91 firebird not stock and look like an import or something i get cused out. so i would just like to say howabout you people get off my *** because i want my car to be different and yes i thank the few of you who have helped me out i appreciate but u peopl need to stop being so rude to the sound of a "non-stock" camaro or firebird screw that

 

What?

 

I think you have misunderstood the responses. This "Power Adder" board is all about customizing Camaros & Firebirds. It is about adding Superchargers, turbos, nitrous, leaf blowers, etc. Read the print under the "Power Adder" board description.

I am guessing that you posted here (about a chip, etc) because every other board threw you out due to a quick temper. Anyway, the best power adder for the least amount of money & time is a USED WET NITROUS KIT. You will spend more on a GOOD chip than you will on that.
