Default power question

I want a few more ponies and only have a little amount to spend. I was thinking of geting a SCT tuner and 70mm Acufab TB and plenum. I have an aftermarket exhaust and intake......Is the tuner and tb/plenum a good mod, or should I be looking at something else for my $900 budget.

I don't see gears on your list. That wont give you any more actual HP, but it'll sure make it feel like it. That's what I'd do if I were you, it'll feel like a brand new car.

no gears for now......people here charge like $400 just to install them. I will soon have the resources to have it done free and then I will probably get gears.

If I were you I'd do suspension before minor (But expensive) bolt ons. New springs/shocks/struts and upper and lower control arms can be had for under $600 (Depending on brands of course) and will help you tremendously in the long run. Then get your tuner when you get your gears.

I like to drift a little and autocross. I don't drag that often. My car is my D/D and must drive it year around so I can't lower it any.....my body kit hangs low enough.......so basically I am looking for a little more power to spin the tires a little more and help on the staight aways...........If I were to get a tuner and the T/B and plenum, how much HP can I expect....I was thinking I would get another 25 HP to the wheels.....What do you guys think
