no, the stock air box on a car is usually rated at about 7 times the amount of air the engine can handel, meaning you technically need to upgrade fuel injectors (mod supported, dont just throw bigger ones in) before the intake

so i guess here is my next question what is gonna score me the most brownie points with the judges. for under 100 bucks. chin spoiler? grille delete? can i/should i get red ignition wires and holders for the stock coil pack? blacked out headlight/taillight covers? chrome/stainless pedal covers? strut tower covers?

if you guys have any recomendations please send sights where i can get them cuz i need to order tonight to get it shipped.

p.s i dont have money for wheels or tint as of now

tint should be around $100 bucks, id go with the chin/grill. blacking out the lights is illegal so id leave em, however you could get new smoked lights from AM. a strut tower would be all right, chrome pedals are just a ehh whatever.

I can say that I just added a chin spoiler and mach 1 grill delete...and it looks a lot better from the front..made my car look a lot meaner.

You would almost have to be at a car show alone in your own class to win being a stock v6 with stock rims ..
