Not a whole lot - a decent power adding part will cost upwords from 200 dollers.

I heard electric cutouts sometimes have leaks in them. I say man up and crawl under there with a manual cut out and save some $$$ and get the control arms! or maybe a lid.

I would do either lower control arms, sub frame connectors, or save for a cat back/long tube headers.

On a budget?

Grab UMI LCA Relocation Brackets for about $90 shipped.
Port your own throttle body for next to nothing.
Pick up a winged manual cutout for about $30 shipped.

Thats about $120.00

You'll have about $30.00 left to buy yourself a half tank of gas
