Need Help!

I'm tired of getting beat off the line and in the longrun by cars that i know i should be beating. What's out there that will give me more torque offline and in the longrun? But somthing thats not way up in price.

is your car auto or manual??? if u have an auto, your car wouldn't have that launch start like a manual does. unless u have major modifications like turbo.

um correct me if im wrong GEARBOX on what intake u have but i think the k&n FIPK puts some good numbers down for low end tq and like 1 or 2 HP, but i wouldnt go with any other intake, cuz ther jus for sound/high end power, if u dont want the k&n, leave stock on, um i dont know about headers but i know exhaust gets minimal gains, jus for sound, i dont have any experience wiht headers cuz i dont hav them, so i can tell you what to expect hp n tq wise from them, i know pulleys will also give you low end tq, ther was a thread on that yesterday i believe, look around for it, anyway good luck
