I am looking into doing my next round of upgrade(s). I have a little over 500$ to spend. It would be nice not to spend all of it, but hey. Anyways, I was looking at either a CAI, TB&P, SCT tuner or Predator tuner, UDP's, or springs (thinking about asking for springs for my b-day). What do you guys think will be the best investment considering my very little mods. Oh, ya nd if there is something else you could reccomend that I didnt add then please feel free. Thanks guys!

 

Go with the tuner... CAI isn't going to give you anything, TB&plenum won't give you hardly enough for the price... Pulleys maybe, but if you want to supercharge it later, they'd be wasted... And if you can get the springs for your b-day hold out with those

Or... you could save another $200 and just add nitrous

 

Tuner for $400, and start shopping gears. The tuner is ok to get first because if you get a handheld you can change the gear ratio yourself without getting it retuned... Gears cost between another 150-200 or so, and install can vary - but that's goin to be the best thing you can do to your GT other then FI/Nitrous

 

gears. if I had 500 laying around, it would be 4.10s fo sho.

how much do shop charge to install nitrous

 

How do u jus have $500 to spend? Not tryna be nosey or anything, i've jus been wondering how do some people start threds with " I got $xxxx to spend, wut should i get" I sure wish i had $500 to spend on my pony, wit college and all....[&o]

 

well with nitrous remember, it's not only install - it's a tune also, a custom tune at that. So you just have to check your local shops around - ask em for prices.

 

4.10's. $180 + labor. Depending on who installs it, you might have some money left over.

 

Gears and a Shift Kit FTW, will be the most noticeable gain!!

 

JLT CAI and a STEEDA TIMING ADJUSTER. www.jlttruecoldair.com will cost $220. and the timing adjuster is $140. The JLT made a difference that I could measure and the timing adjuster does much of what a tuner would do for now. With 93 octane I was able to add 6* of timing. I would also get a new set of NGK platinum plugs for $25. You will still have $200. left for the next mod. Mark
