Their is only one larger TB for us, and its almost 300 bux so if you cant afford engine swap, its out.

Wont need larger injectors if you dont get more then 25hp,, then you only need to increase them 1lb rating, or even cheaper, increase your fuel pressure to compenstate for it.

Headers are about 700 bux, so again, them will be out for you.

the dynomax catback I think hes talking about it the superturbo, I would buy super flo, huge contrast but you'll have to pay some more dough. Someone mentioned tune up helps a lot too.

TomP's Major TuneUp + new timing chain ~ $100
Catback Exhaust (Dynomax Super Turbo) ~ $160

Those are the two biggest things you can do.

as doward said, plus depending on year of the car, maybe change intake.

Also, how many miles on the car?? Having the injectors cleaned will make it run smoother. Not much "power" difference, but more mpg and idles better.


As some say, "speed cost, how fast you want to go??"

If you can't do it right don't do it.. Save the cash and until you can.


Tuen Up Standard
Double Roller Timming Chain NEXT THEN
Dynomax cat back first mod followed by catco converter
Crane 2030 CAM
Home Porting on plenum and heads
3.73 Rear Gears

Then waste your cash on
Pulleys
Chips and so on, not before hand
