You've pretty much exhausted your low cost options. Intake/heads/cam should come next.

I would also get rid of the 180 degree stat and replace it with stock 192. There is alot of debate about this, but IMO 180 degrees is not hot enough for a complete burn.

They bsing about 330 hp.


It looks like you just want bolt ons, meaning something to attach to your stock motor. Your best bet for real power for that money is nitrous. But you have to think hard, because nitrous is not one time investment, you also have to buy fuel every four runs or so. The way Id do it, is build the motor from scratch, and get me at the bare minimum a real 320 horse motor.

For $500 the only thing you could do is nitrous, maybe some suspencion bolt ons. But what you really need is a plan for what you want out of your car.

So my advice is hold on to the money, take out a pen and paper, and come up with a plan for your car. You could take 20 or so bucks out of that and invest in some books on modding 46, or building suspencions.

hp is interchangible with bhp, smart guy. If we were talking about real wheel it would say rwhp.
