TB and PLunum spacer, nitrous, and superchargers. all the other mods are not "bang for the buck"
Bahwhat? spacers are a waste of money and time. best bang for buck mods IMO are Nitrous (or FI), TIRES!!!!!!, total exhaust (go all the way if ur going to do it, dont stop at the x-pipe, although u will see good gains for the money going to a o/r x and catback alone), and honestly, p/p and stage 1 cams unless uve got the mods to support stage 2. cams can be one of the best power investments you make. If i had the money I would be going there real soon
this is coming from a guy who said a fender cold air intake got more hp.

yeah for $15 i saw 9 hp on the dyno. show me a better bang for the buck?

ok wheres the slip?

and gears would give you a bigger bang cause you dont have to keep paying $40 to have them refilled

yeah with the intake spacer it adds like a 1/4 to 1/2 inch height to the intake causing the hood not to close with the accufab plenum
