mustang1072 · May 14th, 2007, 10:29 PM

cant go to far unfortunitly with 1k

itschristorres8 · May 14th, 2007, 11:03 PM

the most out of it....100shot...

dont wana blow your engine
you can get a cam...or heads

or gears and posi-$650-700
UD pulleys will be like $250 with belt and alt pulley
CAI-$50

i recommend
the gears and posi-$650-$700
CAI-$50
and c springs -$150
still got $100
with gears you need a speedcal

OR
you can get gears and posi for about $400 and installed for $200
so if your lucky-$600
buy an xcal2 from crazylegs-$350 and then buy a CAI

the xcal2 can fix the speedometer problem with the gears

75shot -

I think 02 already said it....

75shot of nitrous + window switch + bottle header. Install it yourself and their you go

Take a race driving class. Best mod for the buck and will stay with you no matter what you decide to do with the car.

With $1000, I'd like for my car to sound pretty nice and do exhaust. Get some LT headers with an x-pipe and duals coming out the back. Please note this will not give you as high of a horsepower increase like the aforementioned ways, it will make people hear your car and check it out.

itschristorres8 · May 15th, 2007, 11:38 PM

getting Long tubes
h pipe and dual exhaust will make your launches worse actually....less low end power depending on the size exhaust
get more for your money

ByPopularDemand · May 15th, 2007, 11:46 PM

Gears, tlok and tuner...I'm surprised no one mentioned you need to recalibrate the speedo, so you might as well get the tune too for some added power

02ponypackage · May 15th, 2007, 11:54 PM

well im sure just doing a 75 shot, intake and tune...will be something that def. gives it a kick...and i would doubt you to make some nice power on spray.......thats as simple as it gets....

ByPopularDemand · May 16th, 2007, 12:03 AM

Nitrous install and a tune for 1k is kinda pushing it don't you think...unless he geta a hell of a deal

02ponypackage · May 16th, 2007, 12:10 AM

not really...go to Sniper and get their Ny-Trex kit and a tune for under 1000

ByPopularDemand · May 16th, 2007, 02:06 AM

But the kit, bottle warmer,purge kit,bottle, tuner, and install for 1k?

02ponypackage · May 16th, 2007, 09:38 AM

ok...purge kit doesnt need to be purchased...it helps but its not needed....bottle warmer same thing....install? why would you pay someone to install a nitrous kit ? its not hard....the kit and tune is all thats needed....but yeah the bottle warmer and and pruge will help but its not needed right away

You go run around without a bottle warmer you watch...Try and get that pressure up with a torch...

Yeah during the summer months you could "possibly" get by without a warmer but why chance it? Just bite the bullitt and do it right the first time...

02ponypackage · May 16th, 2007, 10:47 AM

well im in FL...and heat isnt much of a problem...and my buddy has beeon on spray for over 1yr and never had problems...though he has bottle warmer now...he still doesnt have a purge kit...and doesnt have any problems with making his 13.0 passes on a simple bolt on 150,000 mile GT....which he used a torch...and never had a problem....but neways i would personally get everything needed and that would help the 1st time...but if its not a must and the person doesnt mind...then w/e go for it...

To get the bottle to optimal pressure you need a bottle warmer...

Purge kit is not needed but it is nice to purge rather then purging through the intake...He could be getting alot better response from the nitorus if he purged it to the atmosphere...But to each their own...

You live and learn...I try to help people do what I have learned from trial and error...Lets just say it sucks when you get ready to race and your bottle has no pressure...

Yeah if it is warm where you are you can get by for a while...But if the temp gets colder then you might be hosed...

The torch is a quick fix...It is not something you want to have to do every time you want to spray...

My entire nitrous set-up I had before I got the blower cost around $1200 and that was for anything and everything (minus a nitrous controller)...

Any pictures of that blower set-up on your car yet?
