Rep Power: 301

I was wondering since i am still pretty much a newb to modding my car. Which engine modifications are relatively cheap or unheard of that can give pretty good gains for the money. I about to install my CAI and i already have a cat-bak system, but what else could I do that is fairly cheap ($0-$500) that would give my car significant gains in HP and torque? Also does anyone know where i can get a black alteeza style grille and how much I should pay for it? THanks a lot....

Well if you got $500.00 to spend you can grab a hearder DC, HP, Kamakazi. Than there is Pulleys and Cam Gears which run 100-175 and AEM makes some nice ones. Also you could get a ECU chip which runs $300-500

As for the grill check ebay it would be your best bet to find one cheap

Thx, but how much HP do you pick up with pulleys and a cam gear by AEM? Can you even feel it? Is there better throddle response? How much would headers help?

Well the Pulleys will kick in at higher RPMs, the cams are adjustable and you will have to expierment with them they both will give 1-4 HP I believe. As for the Headers DC expect 5hp with HP and Kamakazi you will expect a little more power but they are not CARB legal and will fail emissions with those headers.

Hope this helps

i dont think your gonna get much power from any of that stuff, or at least significant power, and about the grille, try tornactive.com or maybe the marketplace, or sometimes the groupbuy if they make another one for it
