do you want more horsepower or it to be faster, they can go hand in hand but with more horsepower you need to get it to the ground. try some rear suspension mods, gears, stall, etc.

yeah you cant go wrong with suspension, start with lca's panhard bar, subframes. after that, id think about getting a cam, unless i had money, then id want heads and a cam.

id look into a cam and supporting valvetrain like springs, 1.6 rrs ect then some suspension parts and then a tune. it just all depends what your goals for the car are and your budget.

If it's an auto I'd go with a stall from personal experience that was my fav mod

Yep, if it's an Auto... do a stall. These boards have a ton of info on them, and some of the sponsors can get you a nice deal. Then I would say do some suspension, start with Subframe Connectors, and work your way up depending on your goals. Good Luck
