With the mods listed in my sig, there arent many more boltons left to get (under $500) except for intake. I was thinking about having a custom chip burnt. Have any of you guys done this, and what were your results?

wont be worth it. just get a tweezer and do it that way. or convertit to carb!! you should also look into geting better flow heads. that should be your next mod after the intake.

yea I am looking into getting some springs, for better launch and handling. I am thinking of getting some Eibachs. This might sound stupid, but which is better for what I want, Progressive or specific? What is the labor on some conrtol arms or are they preety straight forward to install? I dont have the cash for heads, and am outta wwork so I dont see me getting enough anytime soon

Pick a nice cam like FRPP B303 or F303 for 200$$ and a cobra intake for 390$. you will be amazed with the results.

control arms are easy. basic rachets and sockets. make sure you use lots of wd40 on the bolts. you might need a hammer and a screw driver to drive out the bolts. but should only take a few hours. make sure to lub up thow. so the new arms dont bind. the car will feel stiffer when you install them.
