Default what is the best mods i can do to my car?

so far ive come to the conclusion that the best mods for my car would be a ported stock throttle body, a slp lid and an ls6 intake. what else can i do to get some few more extra hp? other than the obvious headers and catback. thank you for your time.

H/C, stickers, neons? ROFL


i suggest an STS turbo kit (rear mounted turbo), heads, and cam.

do you have a price limit? since youre heading to class i assume youre a student, and this arent dealing with tons of money.

Start with the obvious and go from there the mods start to get expensive after that so set a budget and determine what your goal is with the car and then you can decide what to do.

After all
CAI - $200+
LS6 intake $325+
Catback $250 used + $450+ new
Headers + Y = $500+

This assues you do all the work yourself and does not include labor.

Get that done first, your looking at over a grand.

First off there Mickey

1. you have to learn to recognize Sarcasim (Stickers)
2. Your staunch defense of your friend has got the ire of soem people up and they are taking it out on you as well
3. You and Comanten Should come out and meet these people and get to know them.
Invasion would be a good start (comanten I would recommend applogizing your *** off, Ryne will be there as a sponsor)

As we have seen, people are lot different in person sometimes then they are behind their keyboards.

Once they get to know you they will back off on riding you if you are cool. Mickey I am not saying you deserve any of it and they should recognize that.

It is good to have young blood come into the muscle car world (there are enough ricers)
Hopefully we can help you out.
