Open for Ideas!

Well at the casino tonight I ended up coming out $230 ahead. Not much but I planned on leaving with 0, and I wanna put it into the car. My sig has my current setup up. I was thinking of putting it toward a used ls6 intake or underdrive pulleys or something. Any ideas of some cheap couple extra horses? I don't mind adding a few dollars to it for something that's worth but I'd like to stay within $100 of that...

I was looking into the RLCA brackets, probably going to order the Spohns...I think that's the winner for small purchase. Maybe I'll just go blow the rest back at the casino

How about a set of subframe connectors? You could maybe find a set of those and lower control arms in the used section and have money left over for lunch.

Get a new shifter if you still run with a factory shifter, otherwise get some RLCA's.

best hp/$ ratio for around 200 would be a good ram air...easy 15-25rwhp depending on which one you get...

I like the idea of a UD pulley.

Or you could always just save it and keep adding to it and do a larger mod later on, or maybe go the practical route and just put it all on a gas card...the way prices keep going up that might be the best idea of all.

I'm with you on this one as far as getting a new intake before getting the ram air box. I would think that no matter how much air I'm forcing in the stock intake is still going to limit my possibility...

I think for now I'm going to do the RLCAs and maybe the UD...

I appreciate all the input and ideas I'm getting on here though!!!

I picked up over 2mph with the non ac ram air over a stock setup...the car was stock internal, full bolt ons with a ls6 intake 2002 car came on from the factory...

cam only 230/230 cam I picked up 2.5mph...

it's a good back for the buck, ported Tb, and ls6 intake are great mods to do too...
