Question questions about beefing up my trans am

whats up? i recently purchased a 1993 trans am . i really dont know what all is done to it, but what i can see is a accel racing ingnition,cold air intake,strut bars in front and in the rear, flowmaster (1 chambers), no cat, and thats all i can see. it will go pretty good. but i was wandering what i could add to really get some bang for my buck, i have been thinking about little stuff like a exhaust cut out ( would it help any?) but im looking for a little more power for say 500$ or less. if i could get some help i would greatly appreciate it . thanks in advance.

a flowmaster single chamber is different from the standard flowmaster catback that you order from summit or jegs, the single chambers flow great and dont restrict anything, is it a single chamber or is it the cat back because if its the single chamber just leave and and dont bother with a cutout

Spray it and keep dumping $$$ into bottle refill, or go for a stroker rebuild. It really is up to you on what you plan to go for. Daily Driver, weekend warrior, track terror, or just purely and import impaler(To render helpless as if by impaling). Yea, sorry, had to be a retard haha. You could also supercharge it as is with low boost Really depends on how deep your pocket is. If you're looking for quick bolt ons, I'd go with a 52mm throttle body, an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, 26+lb injectors and a ECM tune.
