Default What should I pick?

Hi, I'm new here, but have done a few performance things to my car, 2.25 Exhaust(Crush Bent :cry: couldn't find mandrel bends in my country), Custom Header and a CAI (though soon will install a Random Special, just waiting for the materials to get here). I'm trying to select my next option and would like your opinions. They are:

1. Turbo, but it cost 1,900, so I guess this one's out for now.
2. Port & Polish
3. High-Flo cat, either CatCo or CarSound, since the exhaust work kept the same cat, though the inlet/oulet where enlarged
4. Upgrade Wheels to light 15 Rims + Tire
5. Ligthen the Stock Flywheel

What would you do? The Turbo is out of the question for now, so please comment on the other 3. Thanks

i say 3 and 4...the best way to start modifying your motor is arflow and then get into the other stuff like flywheels and whatnot. also the wheels will look better and change the apearance of the car alot. you should look into boring the intake manifold and your throttle body. goodluck

Default Re: What should I pick?

how about some, wires, better spark!!!! Maybe you wont get a seriuos HP increase, but idle and gas consumption would be improved!!!!!!!!!!

Short shifter possibly, power is one thing, and quickness is another,

lightened pulleys for the engine, AC pulley, PS pulley, and underdrive pulley.

and remember stickers and paint dont add HP,

ARRIBA LA "anti-rice revolution"

:evil:

Stickers? yuuuuuuuuccccccckk!!

Nope, I like my car clean. As for Short Shifter, I've thought about that and I'll probably get one.

As for Pulleys, those are near impossible to find here. But I'll try. At least I'll try for the Alternator and Air Conditioner.

Hay man i was in the exact same boat as you about a year or two ago.
And did #2 #3 it made a difference and i loved it but i still wanted more.

If i was to start again i'd get the short shifter do my interior
then save for a turbo kit.

just my 0.02
good luck with whatever you choose.:smoking:
