Stupid Choices
ok, I've got a couple of things I'm wondering about. This summer, I will have about $1000 to invest into my car. I'd like to get 80-100Hp out of it. Not NOS or anything like that, just engine work.
So what could I get for $1000 that would give me that much more horse power? My other option is I can make a rear mount turbo system for about the same price, but those seem to be quite controversial. Any suggestions?

RE: Stupid Choices
That's why I was kinda leaning towards doing a rear-mount turbo system. I can get all the parts including the new injectors and reprogrammed PCM for about $1300. I was just hoping someone had some insight as to an alternative way of getting equivalant power, for about the same price.

exhaust for $250? get out of town...Headers will run you that alone...see the sticky for a large list of bolt-ons and their prices
80-100hp is a lot man...cam and valvetrain with full bolt ons will not get you 80hp

I said exhaust and nothing about headers.Look on summit.I know an exhaust kit for my car costs 259.99-427.95 with two more brands in the high two hundreds.I guess I better get out of town.

The headers are 234.39-376.39 depending on what brand you go with.

RE: Stupid Choices
those are Cat-backs...part of the exhaust. Headers and cat are exhaust to. If your going to put in a high flow cat-back, you would gain more by replacing the whole exhaust system and not leaving the restrictive manifolds and cat...but if I had 1K to blow performance wise...
Headers $250
Cat $50 (on ebay)
Cat-back $250
CAI $75 (on ebay)
Aluminum Driveshaft $130ish
then gears and good tires if you don't have so already and maybe some suspension if you got $$$ left over
