Default runnin out of ideas..

im no mechanic, im tryin to pick up **** as i go along but im far from knowin everything about puttin together a car...

so far i have a jwt pop charger, un pulley and kinetix v+ plenum (as posted below)

this week i plan on getting stillen headers, and a new exhaust later next month( not sure witch one yet)...

im not sure where i am supposed to go from there other than a turbo kit or something, and i really cant afford to drop 8,000 right now... so if you were in this position, and really tryin to get your car as fast as possible, what other mods would you make

unless you boost it, the only other option you have is nitrous. N/A mods are like pissing in the ocean. you are wasting your time and money unless you are happy with a parts list, a car that merely sounds faster, and an empty wallet

.... i could be wrong but i was under the impression that nitrous was an early death sentance for your car... also, i try to only race at the legals on the weekend, had my license droped for 2 years n dont want that again, i dont believe nitrous is allowed. besides that i want something more perminant

indeed nitrous will have it's way with yoru engine eventually. BUT with a good tune and a plausable engine management, you wouldn't have problems unless you were spray happy all the time.

I'm coming near the bolt on mod path and everything people say is correct. My car does sound better, but faster? lol not likely, quicker might be the word... if it doesn't snap your head back it isn't fast in my book.

As far as bolt ons, you are just throwing your money away. Nothing you will install on your car is going to make any significant or noticable difference. Not an intake, not an exhaust, not headers, not a plenum. You are might be ever so slightly faster, but really it will just leave you with an empty wallet, a car that sounds faster, and a mod list you can brag to your friends about - but in reality is worthless.

If you don't have the cash to boost it, spend the money on good wheels/tires, suspension and a good clutch setup
