What are some cheap but effective mods I can do to my car.. for horsepower, performance, and sound??? I already have exhuast and cold air intake.. what else can I do?

Well.....

For ~$6k installed you can get a blower.

Now I know, I know, you're sitting there thinking "$6k is NOT cheap!" Look at it this way:

A stock GT is 300 at the flywheel. I am now ~511 at the flywheel. So that's a 211 horsepower gain for $6k, making the $/hp at $28.44/horsepower

Compared to a lot of other mods out there (UDPs, LT headers ($2k installed (kooks w/X)for ~25 HP)), that's actually a very good deal.

Trouble is coming up with it all in one chunk like that. But trust me, when you do, you'll be very happy.

 

Good driver mod, weight reduction. Do you already have a tuner for your intake?Gears, udp. Nitrous isn't cheap, but it will give you a lot of power for a decent cost when you need it.

 

Nitrous is the poor man's supercharger and its also very effective, its just you gotta have nitrous in tank, so its not there all the time...I think some of the centrifigul blowers are probably the best bang for the buck...I've seen where you can get the vortech blower, the paxton and the procharger for well under $5k dollars, but then you have to get them installed...

 

Nitrous is a cheap way to go for added power. You can get started with a basic kit for anywhere from $600.00 to $1,000.00 installed. There are always additionl items you will want (Gauges, bottle heater, purge, etc.), but you can get started relatively cheap for the HP you'll gain.

 

I know where there is a set of UPD's for $109 if you are interested. I would post the link here but it is on another forum that this forum doesn't like very much.

 

What are UPDs? Do you mean UDPs?

 

Underdrive Pulleys

 

Just a slight typo....I meant UDPs.

 

That's what I thought. Just makin sure there wasn't some new contraption to hit the market that I wasn't yet familiar with. LOL
