I dont know to much about cars and thats probably the basic mods that i would do because i dont race im just curious and want a estimate thanks.

Don't buy any of that stuff.. save that coin and add a little more and get a blower/spray.. you'd pick up the most with that..

I made the mistake before of going bolt ons.. about the same price as a used blower or new bottle

out of your whole list of parts, the most bang for your buck would be the gears. obviously it wont add power, but it will wake that car up alot compared to the stock gearing.

Think of it this way.. your car is putting out about 208rwhp stock.. those mods will most likely at 10-20 HP..

There isn't a lot you can do to the mod motors (a part from tearing into them or slapping on a power adder) to really wake them up.

I beleive a used Procharger kit goes for around $2500 or so. However, you should budget $500 for a tune.. and maybe a few more dollars for some fuel upgrade.. keep the boost low as those motors aren't bullet proof [Smile]
