Default bolt on questions

as the title says.. this is the place to ask it..

so I just got my car back.. but its been butchered by a 2.25 flowmaster catback!@!!! long story.


I got about 1k to spend ..

its got a lid w/ a K&N and all free mods and no EGR/AIR..

I want to do true duals ... dont need to really ask questions about that done most of my homework..

its been a while.. so what sparkplugs? the car just turned over 100k miles.. what all tune up do you reccomend?

is there any where where I can just buy a ported TB? I cant afford to have my car down.. for more then a day.. its a DD

not sure if you could get kooks and x-pipe, all installed for under a grand, but if I already had that much I'd patiently save up for the difference and do LTs and TDs before anything else.

Then I'd start looking at SSRA, ported TB, and some suspension mods.
