[syP]

i got roughly $600 - $700. What should i get? Im trying to keep in mind 1 thing. It can be anything... wheter it be rims, internals, externals, performance... no major performance yet tho. What would you suggest... and SAVING is not an option. Let me know what you think.

Hmm a gtp would be a good start. h34r: :lol:

 

[gtphale]

Hey its not savings

 

[ThaLord]

DHP

 

[Fish]

DHP, throttle body, motor mounts. That seemed to wake my car up a bit. If you have some left over, get the D/P and ubend done. You should have about 145 left after that.

Save like $300 and get an L67.

You could do that, then you have to buy a tranny. Then you have to buy mods for the L67. In your situation, I would just advise to modify your GT, and then when the time comes, buy a GTP. It is also wise to save all of your stock parts. Makes demodding a whole lot better. The only thing that sucks is you have to pay a 100 core charge for the TB, but they sell pretty easy so you can always switch with someone locally if you were to sell it.

GMPP suspension. About $700 right there.

BC

 

[BlkJak]

Suspension or DHP!

 

[mybluegtp]

N2o..

 

[syP]

hmm.. what about a cam... i know teh install costs $400 itself

 

[dole21]

a tv for me.

 

[Fish]

All of the parts and labor for a cam will cost around 1200. So if you want a cam, better save a few hundred more.

well my brother suggested ER rockers, DHP, and as much exhaust work as i can. I never really found out what rockers do.. What do they do, what do they work with, and how much HP expected gain?

 

[rob]

TURBO,HEADERS,AND A WAX JOB-keep saving :lol:

 

[xttc2000]

rockers increase the lift of the valves.

go to diamonds, blow your cash there.

 

[syP]

yes b/c im over 18 **















** not.

 

[xttc2000]

unless you are planning on dumping a TON of money into the car, its not going to be fast. maybe the CF f1 hood that just came out?
it seems like you are already on your way to being show quality. i say take that idea and run with it.

 

[syP]

no.. i go performance now .. I am leaning towards... exhaust from jim.. ubend and resonator removal custom DP, 2.5 all the way.. need opinions on mufflers. and a DHP

 

[1BADGTP]

Yeah I would do what xttx2000 said. you can save up some more money when you get a better job and make your car fast then.

save some more money and get somw wheels and tires

 

[Fish]

Making your GT faster isnt that bad. You wont compete with GTPs, but you wont be so bored. Besides, when you want that GTP, you can sell or reuse some of your current mods.

 

[GTPHales-Wife]

seriously I would get dhp,exhaust 2.5 all the way,custom dp and rockers. I think if you shop wisely you can pick all that up for about 7 hundo.Well thinking about it maybe not the full exhaust maybe just the dp. With a gt the stock exhaust can't be to much of a restriction yet.

so DHP 225
Rockers 250 can find cheaper if you look hard enough
dp from jim is what 45?
Then maybe some snm motor mounts or poly's if you don't like alot of vibration 50

 

[gtphale]

Damn hun you have been paying attention nice job

 

[BlkJak]

WOW!! The Hales seem to be the perfect couple!!! Both know their cars!!! Where do I find one of those???? :huh:

By the way, go with her idea, women are always right!!!

 

[syP]

hm.. i wonder where i can find ER rockers for the l36 for $250

ZZPerformance = $349.99
Intense Racing = $299.99

But i most definatley am gonna go with Exhaust + DHP.
