300$'s? put that money in the bank and let it build up..... or spend it on gas

 

Thanks for the advice, but I have gas money and investing money, this is play money.

 

I think what he's saying is that $300 is (in this hobby) a reasonably small sum, so save it and put it towards something bigger (cam swap, etc.).

 

I can understand that, I'd just rather touch 12's with small bolt-ons (I use the car daily and travel around Ga quite often in it). Luckily, bolt-ons seems to be cheap, hence my $300 thread


I ordered the "cable loan, power tune" from lt1pcmtuning.com. It's $100 and he'll fine tune my car, as many times as he can, in a week. So $200 left. I think I'll build the "over the radiator" intake as well.

 

Do an LS1 lid! Would still have 150ish left over.

Then do LCA relo brackets and LCA's.

 

I hate to do a thread jacking here but I'm kind of in a similar situation. most of my mods are listed in my sig but to go over everything...
-Pacesetter Longtubes and ORY
-K&N Intake
-Custom ground cam w/ valvetrain upgrades
-Madz28 tune
-Nitto 555r's
-UMI LCA'S, PHB, and SFC's
-3.73 gears
-Weight reduction (back seats, passenger seat)
-BMR STB
-Stock heads, intake, and bottom end with ~140K miles

I don't plan on getting rid of my A/C or power steering quite yet so I don't want any delet pulleys or anything and I also don't want to spray the car right now either.

I'm wondering what else I should really do and I'm in the same boat as the OP I have about $300 to play with if that will get me anything.

 

This might sound dumb, but if you can't think of anymore mods (I could, just couldn't decide), then always look at maintenance. Is your ignition recently replaced? New plugs, wires, opti, fuel filter, injectors cleaned, maybe a seafoam, etc.


If all that is up to date, look into an intake manifold/throttle body!

 

That's what I've heard. So if you're getting a tune, I would go back to the stock MAF.

 

What intake manifold would you recommend? For his application, stock is MORE than enough. A bigger throttle body on a bolt-on car also might not be worth the money compared to a tune, suspension, lid/CAI, etc.

JMO.

 

shouldnt you get the tune after u spent the other 200$$

BTW: TB or intake

 

a good set of 1.6 roller rocker arms, valve springs, pushrods.
goodluck

 

Tune would benifit alot I would save the rest of your money and eventually stick a bigger bump stick in it, that is the best way to make more hp/$.

 

Tune on order and I think the next step is spray to see what she'll do
