Ok Il contribute to this thread some usful information. Since the OP doesnt have alot of money I would not advise him to get nitrous as its very costly for repairs as some of us know. I think with 500bucks he could get a stall but a good converter is what 5-800bucks+ installation and a trans cooler+ 150bucks for a retune so were talking over 1000bucks.

after re reading the thread. I would get a stall+some sticky tires out back or even a sticky tire and a 3.73 gear or save up a bit more money and get a good converter and a sticky tire outback. No need for suspension parts since your not that fast like myself. Stock suspension will do just fine

save up... don't cheap out on something because your current budget won't allow it...
i'm having to do it at the moment.... with christmas and my insurance due soon, i have to wait and save jus to finish out my exhaust... my budget is about the same as yours month by month.... damn low-payin college jobs
EDIT: you stole tires?

Depending on the year of your car and if you don't have a LS6 intake yet I would get that. Combine that with a ported TB and you should be happy. I would wait for gears until you can get good tires and I would wait on the stall till you can get a yank. GL with what you decide man!

Just saw your user name, if your an 02 car you already have the LS6 intake. If that's the case then I would do a nice ported TB and a set of tubular weld in SFC's.

SFCs are a good mod, but they won't do anything to make the car faster so you might want to hold off if you have a tight budget.
Additionally, if you do want to do SFCs, I'd go with the bolt-in ones, then get them welded as well. Bolted + welded will be the strongest connection.

Some weld in SFC's are a good idea along with maybe some relocation brackets. Another good idea is if you car is a 00 or older, look for a ls6 intake. Your ls1 intake is robbing you of some HP. If you decide on getting a ls6 intake, have your tb ported by a sponsor. Extra few poneys in that too! 3.73s will wake up your car and be a big improvement as well.
