wow first mod is a really good one and is free its a driver mod and you need one..

mpboy · October 4th, 2008, 08:28 PM

there is no cheap horsepower, it cost to make a car fast... sorry. becarful changing the sparkplugs, they will strip the sparkplug holes if your not careful, you have a 3650 tranny, they can crap out pretty easy if you beat on them, but somepeople have had good luck with them. you have 2v heads, and the internals of the motor will need to be forged to put any serious PSI in the motor. building NA you wont get tons of power out of the 2v, but you can put down a pretty good bit with FI or some juice, what route are you wanting to go?

greatest technical answer iv ever seen

mpboy · October 4th, 2008, 08:31 PM

an H or X pipe really opens up the exhaust, iv got stock after the midpipe so i dont really nknow any good exhaust setups. UDP's, and make the drivetrain lighter to freeup some power. gears can give you some torque

mrbigjeep · October 4th, 2008, 09:10 PM

that is very true...that 1/4th mile time is really high.

beast5319 · October 4th, 2008, 11:20 PM

well since these guys wont give you a legit answer haha, If your thinking bolt ons go with gears and a tuner, and like mpboy said a midpipe will help a lot, maybe a tb and plenum and cai. That will get you breathing a lot better. those are most of the good cheaper mods

00vabchgt · October 4th, 2008, 11:29 PM

this would be a good place to start looking:

Kinda depends on what you consider cheap and weather you can do the labor yourself or not. A few things to look into to start would be gears,tune,cai,exhaust, throttle body + plenum, and shift kit if its an auto.

gray8188 · October 4th, 2008, 11:34 PM

just do gears, short throw shifter, Dr's, and full exhaust then save for a supercharger..

02muscle · October 6th, 2008, 08:45 PM

thanks for all the info. i plan on doing everything myself,and i think im pretty knowledgeable..i plan on doing exh. from headers all the way back..throttle body,plenum,cold air intake,tuner,etc..the only thing is im not sure what are some good compatible parts..

01gtMustang132 · October 6th, 2008, 08:49 PM

Gears are the best bang for the Buck...

KevinJ99GT · October 6th, 2008, 08:53 PM

+1 gears and tuner makes a huge difference

adrenaline=lifeline · October 6th, 2008, 08:54 PM

and an old road only cost the price of gas
gears, udps, aluminum fly wheel and aluminum drive shaft

02muscle · October 6th, 2008, 08:55 PM

who makes a descent gear..and is it true that 4:10 and 3:73 arent that different as far as gas mileage,but what about tranny wize..i have an aod

00vabchgt · October 6th, 2008, 08:57 PM

with the aod, i'd go 4.10. as for brand, it doesn't matter that much. FRPP/ Motive or Richmond, you can't goo wrong. make sure you get them installed by someone who really knows what he's doing...

02muscle · October 6th, 2008, 08:58 PM

would u recomend a shift kit for the tranny?

ajm · October 6th, 2008, 09:01 PM

frpp gears if you decide to get gears. makes the install easier if you decide to do it yourself
