I Need Cheap Performance

yellowstang6r · February 27th, 2008, 08:02 PM

I am looking to improve the performance of my 01 V6. So far I have a CAI and flowmaster dual catback exhaust. Everything else is stock. I am looking to buy some performance parts. HOWEVER, I would like opinions on what would work best. I have a low, but steady income and I'm in college sooo i dont want anything outrageous in price.

My thoughts include:
BBK 65mm throttle body
Motovator throttle body spacer
DiabloSport Tuner
and some pulleys

I am looking at getting some now, and then adding slowly but not investing an outrageous amount (considering I'm going to get rid of the car in a few years)

Gears and t-lok.

HMUSN · February 27th, 2008, 08:05 PM

top dollar your willing to spend on parts at one time?

thats all youll need

its perfect cuz when you sell it, you can keep the diablosport tuner and remove the nitrous kit fairly easily than use them both on your next car

Go with the tuner first. I recommend SCT or Sniper tuners over the diablo. Check out the link in my sig. The guy there will give you custom tunes for 2 years when you buy from him. After the tuner, Gears and a t-lok.

just remember the wisdom that is Vin Diesel

gears-tlok-tuner about the best u can get for "cheap"

My thoughts include:
BBK 65mm throttle body = no worth it wont do anything unless you port the intake to match
Motovator throttle body spacer = not worth the money you will get maby .5 hp
DiabloSport Tuner sct and sniper ar also good
and some pulleys

[quote]

i would also look in to some gears and a t-lock
and aluminum driveshaft is also a decent mod that is fairly easy install, and not to pricy
and aluminum driveshaft is also a decent mod that is farily easy instal, and not to pricy

id look into underdrive pulleys before you get an aluminum driveshaft

rotational mass = more HP with more mods than simple UD pulleys.

not much rotational mass to gain there compared to the drive shaft.

modded232 · February 27th, 2008, 10:54 PM

Kinda off-topic here... but HMUSN, can you change your avator please? Thats the creepiest friggin thing I've ever seen, and every time I see one of your posts I can't help but stare at it.

Ok, now you guys can resume your V6 tech talk...

shadow5403 · February 28th, 2008, 08:25 AM

Lt_Crazy · February 28th, 2008, 05:28 PM
