what mod should i get for $1500 ??
ok so Im only 17 and and have to pay my cars insurance, car payments, and gas so it takes me some time to save up=/ so by the end of summer, some money i should have left over will be around $3000-$4000
i dont want to exceed $1500 but will go up to $2000 if i need to.
i dont think i wanna supercharge the car yet, cause thats continuous money after the sc is bought... and i will never use nos. so help me out guys!!
i think i would like to cam and port the heads. but im not sure if ill be able to do that myself?=/ seems like a job for an experienced person, the headers were hard enough... so how much would that run me at a shop??

porting the heads, having them installed, buying cams, having them installed will cost you well over your $1,500 mark. I have not had those things installed on my car, but I would think that would cost you somewhere around $3-4k (someone correct me, I am just figuring on about 2-2.5k for parts and another 1k for install
I see nothing about gears in your sig. Get gears, you will not regret it one bit. If it is a stick, I would recommend a short throw. And with any money left over you could buy a few suspension goodies like subframe connectors and/or lower control arms.

ill be ordering a diablo tuner soon, and we have the gears, just not installed yet=/ but lower control arms sound good. but what good do sub-frame connectors do for a car running high 13's?
those wont run me more than $800 what about the other half... thanks guys!

Mine too, in maybe a year or so. i just hope all the links still work and all... writeups usually dont last a few years with 100% of the links in tact. and its almost impossible to get a hold of the OP after a few years cause sometimes they just drop off the face of the earth
