cheapest get most out of mod.
I have a 95 trans am already have a CAI wondering the most I can get for the cheapest amount of money you know headers cam nitrous gears etc. Thanks

Nitrous will get you the most, but it has a recurring cost. Headers gained me and my friend each 7 tenths and 5 mph in the quarter. The stock ones are really restrictive. Gears feel nice on the street, but I don't know that I truly gained that much in the quarter with them. A cam is nice, but it is a more expensive proposition than the other mods discussed. It also adds a cool sound to the vehicle.

^^^ Like the old saying! Never heard that before!
I would go with the longtubes, ory, tune, and catback for now as that will give you a platform to grow on in the future!
Then i would look into spraying it!

the "GIRLFRIEND MOD" Definately not the cheapest, but it certainly puts the BANG in bang for the buck. lol Mine makes more money than I do, has both helped work on my 97 SS and watched my kids so that I can work on it, helps keep it clean, put the insurance in her name so it only costs $12 a month, and has only asked to drive it a couple times. After buying a 95 M6 Z28 for parts, she has decided that I'm going to fix it up for her to drive until I pass it to my kids later. I won't even begin to talk about all the OTHER benefits she has to offer.
My other favorite cheap mods are:
TB bypass
ls1 lid conversion
de-screening the MAF
longtubes, ORY, and catback or X-pipe & turndowns
!EGR and !AIR
Exhaust cut-out
Subframe connectors (especially if it's a t-top)
rear lca relocation brackets
EWP (along with the weep hole mod)
160* Tstat
lt4 knock module
1.6 or 1.7 roller rockers & valvespring upgrade on stock cam (save cam swap for the rebuild)
tune
I would say gears, but while I love the 4.10's that were in when I got it, I wouldn't waste a dime on the 10 bolt!!
t-top shades - - - zero performance gains, but if you don't have them your head will bake!!
Buy as much of it as you can used from members on here and you can save a fortune!! Alot of these parts aren't really wear items so they are usually in great shape.
