ok so i have been able to save quite a large amount of money the past couple of months, i wanna put some iinto my car but i dont know what i want or should do,, before i have been mainly focused on appearance but now i wanna focus on performance, what are some things yall recomend that i should do to get the best performance i can for about $300-$400, any adivce would help, all i pretty much have now is an open element filter and a flowmaster exhaust... what now?

 

Add headers and SFC's.

 

Ditto. These two things should be the first mods you do to a 3rd gen besides a tune up.

 

If you plan on doing more in the future, blow it all on the headers.

 

headers...GEARS......gears gears gears.......most over looked mod ever

 

Suspension, headers, gears, and then engine (cam, heads, induction).

 

Uh, guys... $300-$400 dollars. Headers hands down.

305, I have to disagree, more overlooked than gears has to be torque converters.

 

i got jewed outta a "corvette torque converter" by a damn Tranny shop around here....i paid for a 2500 stall vette tc, and got a 1900 stall stocker tc....wtf....by the time i realized it was a 1900 stall, it was too late....

worst part is , this is the time my tranny was replaced, got a reman...came with a brand new stock tc....so now i got two 1900 stalls...

anyone wanna buy one? lol


i still say gear swap....altho....parts alone will be 400 bucks....and unless you have the tools to install them yourself AND a lot of time to learn it as i did....uhm.....better be ready to fork out 200-400 peding on the shop

 

3.73 gears (5 speed) or 3.42 gears (auto) and headers. Just that will feel (notice I said feel) like a 50hp improvement.

 

nonsense, i run 3.73s with my auto.....its fine....altho you can pick up a v6 rear with 3.42's for liek 100 bucks around here.....altho they are peg leggers and 26 spline...still a cheap quick mod lol
