Not for $650.

A cam and a solid port and polish will wake your car up a lot.

ya, I agree, thats really all you can do, or just save up and buy a turbo, or better yet you can prolly get internals in there and make ur car solid for a turbo

well you can alway do what i did which is

AEM
Gates
Gates serpintine Belt
60mm throttle body
Spark plugs
msd box
NKG spark plugs
crane 14 sohc cam shaft

I think it ran me about 576 or something around that but did not hit six hundred bucks.

But the port polish is definatly a better idea.

Probably shouldn't listen to anything your penis says, that guy's a dick.
Patience, of course, is a very powerful weapon, but sometimes I start to regret that it is not a firearm.

Why not invest in suspension components? Swaybars, a Bushing kit, maybe a mild drop on Tokiko blues? It's not adding :quotes: HP but it will make your car more responsive.

Oh. Wow. Yeah, that's a bit expensive. $844.

That is kinda funny with the little video on that page, though.

Get a Comp 400 over the crane 14, since you're going to be stuck with the 6750 limiter. They operate better in the range we have available, and they run $250 brand new on ebay. They are sometimes listed under ZEX.

occasional demons wrote:First you should have asked this in your other thread.
The 400 would be your better choice to stay in your budget. The 14 will most likely require fuel managment. Which will blow your costs way over budget. Check the FAQ section for cam info. :thumbup:
