Well, it's according to what your opinion of cheap is but I like these mods in no particular order....

FTRA kit with a good filter.
Underdrive pulley.
Electric cuttout.
Nitto Drag Radials.
Autotap and LS1Edit.

You can't go wrong with any of these. If I were to pick only one of those it would be the drag radials. Next would be the electric cuttout for the fun factor and then the FTRA for cheap power.

But, if you can swing it, nothing beats a good TQ converter and some sticky tires for bang for the buck.

Instead of getting the WS6 wheels spend that money on Nittos and a good convertor for the car. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I actually have nittos but they're bald so i guess that explains my times. I think that I'll just go with the pulley because I've seen good gains from them. Thanks for the help guys.

Bald is better.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Heat them up and turn them into slicks... <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" />
