Horsepower

Ok, I dont really know much about our engines or what is available, I have always concentrated on cosmetic stuff but I need more horsepower. What can I add (bolt on) that will add actual horsepower not claimed horsepower like CAI . I dont want to do a turbo or spend anywhere near that much but looking for something that I will see a defenite difference.

Dude there is nothing. There are endless and endless threads about how horribe our engines are. I have I/H/E and I STILL have to turn off the AC to pass some assclown on the freeway. (Then again I am pulling quite the stereo) One day these swaps will come down to around a grand for a k20a3. THEN it will be worth a grand for 30HP. Our cars dont do squat brotha.

Cool early Saturday I might be in Gilbert(power and queen creek) doing a kit for a 92teg... then we would be close and neither would have too drive far... if you can let me know ahead of time what color wire you want I can make it up before hand and it takes about 20 min to install(do you have an intake? and is your car an auto?)... her car will take about an hour since I dont have the measurements for it... Its $35 per kit installed... since you are doing two cars at once and one is new for me I'll do both for less than $70! Give me a call or text and we can discuss that further...

Peace

Not to be a picture *****, but I promised Andrew Id always advertise for him any chance I got!!! Ive seen him pop an led into almost every socket you can imagine on a car. He replaced all of my friends gauge cluster lights, and I must say they were a bit dim. Everywhere else tho, they look dope!




btw my footwells look sooo much better since I ditched the clear mats and went with my SI mats!!!
