you are not getting replies because you have not given us much to work with. do you have any mods already? or is it bone stock? what rear end gear do you have? these things are important.

If you are starting from scratch go to the tech articles section on this board and there is an article on mods for a TPI. This article will show you the way to get started. You can also do a search, this question has been asked a thousand times on this board.

This board is bad about helping junior members. The guy with 3 posts probably doesn't even know you can do a topic search. Besides that is why you come to a message board to get an answer from a real person with experience. At least "TPI" is a little better than "Appearance and Detailing"...they really rip each other.

you can afford.take your time.Figure
out what you want from the car try to

to start.Try to keep it realistic.Then let the fun begain.You can do the free hop ups
like an homemade ram air system well it's not free but it'sless than $20.I hope I was some kind of help.By the way What year do you have?
