Power for less $$$


If I wanted more power...

but didn't want a supercharger just yet, or nitrous, what could I do to the engine to give it more power? do I need new heads? fuel injectors? long tube headers? cams?

what brands would you recommend? And what mods give me more HP for less $$$

What do you have done so far to your car?

For first mods, I would suggest and intake and custom tune.
Gears are also a good mod to get your car accel. faster
Aluminum driveshaft is nice to have as well.

I would go gears next for sure. Cams and ported heads would be nice but for me personall I would save that for a forced induction system of your choice
