Default Cheapest way to add horses!!

Hey guys,

Due to lack of funds, that stroker kit is going to have to be put on hold until i can get the money, but i was wondering what you guys think are the best/easiest/cheapest way to add some noticeable power to my z. Thanks!

Spray it. nitrous oxide is the cheapest and easiest way to get substantial horsepower gains. the only requirement would be that your engine be in decent shape. don't go overboard. stay 150 or less and in my opinion wet gas is the better way to go. a decent brand new nitrous kit will set you back about $300. sick

you can always go with what the honda people do and put a bunch of stickers on it, i hear it gives you 25 hp per sticker, just kidding, im not sure if this works but i have read by putting better pulleys they add 15hp

Being that you already did most of the productive bolt on stuff, except for headers, you are now ready for internal mods, which can get pricey, and should be done all at once while the engine is out of the car. So at this point, I agree with Sick and suggest you go the spray route, but be careful with the stuff. Another thing you may want to cosider is a PCM tune to maximize the mods you already have, and maybe find another 10-15 HP.

A PCM tune huh? what exactly is that? and any ideas how much it would cost me to get it tuned up? thanks!
