About 600 bucks, What do you think I should get? My list of mods already is in my sig. Thanks

By the way, I was thinking about the Trickflow street heat intake manifold and then buying a cam. What cam is good for low and mid range performance while being able to be installed with stock heads? Also I need one that can be transferred one day when I buy new heads... like AFR's or Twisted Wedge heads.

E303 is good for low to mid range power...Not much good at higher RPMs though. That's what I have and I like it. You could upgrade your MAF and get 24#ers, but you'd be better off saving money for the intake & cam. It wouldn't be a bad idea to stiffen up the car a little bit, either.

Will the e303 have that "muscle car" chop sounding idle?

It's not too...lumpy...but you can hear it and feel it. I think it sounds pretty cool. It's not really harsh though, like more radical cams are.

I would get a cam and intake. That should still be in your budget.

you could get some nice GT-40p heads off ebay or ported Thumper heads.

give you about 60hp+, put some 1.7 rocker arms on em later real easy for another 10-20hp.

You need to start by getting a smaller TB--that size on your lightly modded motor is NOT helping you. Then get a larger MAF. What good is a larger TB if the air is coming thru a hole 55mm (stock MAF) in diameter.

I would also look at GT40 heads and a street heat intake. You don't need a cam until after you get new heads, but you could do 1.7 rockers and upgrade your valve train.

I definately want the Street Heat intake. I'd love to just buy the whole kit but 2000 is insane. I still am paying for my car and insurance with my 17 year old budget.

So buying a cam would be pointless? I might just get one when i buy heads therefore i dont have to pull the engine apart twice....
