Question What to do next...

Alright iv got a question. I'm looking to add another mod on my car but idk what. I'm thinking either ignition coils, injectors, or cams. Right now iv got a couple little things and a SCT X3 tuner. The only problem with the cams is that im not sure if i would be able to do it myself. Any suggestions? Oh, and what are the stock injectors?

The mods in my signature made a lovely amount of power on an email tune, CMRC plates require tune, UDP's don't, the TB can be bolted on it needs a tune but if your tune is unlocked and can play with the timing you can bolt it on and have it retuned later.

Where do you live and what are your smog logs? The Democrats are on a rampage so I would do something a little more eco friendly. Why don't you save up for a supercharger (Whipple, they are CARB coded which every one will head towards)? They are pretty awesome. Stepping on that peddle is almost like looking at a real nice set of *****, like a real nice set of ***** bro.

yea i was looking at UDPs and a TB too but i want a lot of power for a little amount of money. And a supercharger is not gonna happen, although i wish i could afford one. If i was to get headers i would probly get a new x-pipe too but i dont want a catted one and without cats wont work for emissions checks. what is a CMRC? iv never heard of that. This is also a daily driving car so i cant go all out. Unfortunately its an auto too =( i want a manual so bad but iv gotta wait a couple years so i figure ill just beef this one up a bit.

Get gears. It wont add any hp, but it will increase acceleration.

Nicknack 1016, I'm in the same boat your in. I've got the CAI and the SCT X3 tuner and debating on next mod. I'm waiting to see what my bonus will be to decide between gears or LT's/hi flow catted X pipe. The gears are less $ but if I get a really good bonus I might take advantage of it and get the LT's at that time. As far as the gears go I do quite a bit of highway driving but I usually keep it at 70 mph to avoid unnecessary tickets. I'm debating on the 3.73's and the 4.10's. Maybe I'll split the difference and go with the 3.90's. It is a daily driver so advice from others is always appreciated. I don't know what your situation is; what are you running for gears in your car? If you've got the 3.31's like me then gears would definitely be a good mod for you.
