cam install would be so much....600+

 

[J.E.T.]

Put it in the bank. Better yet, mutual fund type investment.

Frown now, thank me later.

yeah but if u want a gain for 1000, thats the way to go. A throttle body and rockers aren't gonna be huge gains like a cam.

if the install was cheaper I would do it.

The VS cam is a supercharger cam. Not really recommended for an N/A setup.

[GTPPWR]

save your money. the faster you go, the more parts break..the more your going to need the money to fix.

save it.

 

[redgt03]

wow...this is crazy...everyone is telling me not to put performance parts on my car.....what is going on????? Well I am trying to work out a deal on a CSC

 

[Royalgtp]

we have all been there and done that........

id build a turbo kit...or save it

you can get front mounts for 300 that are perfect for are cars
and a turbo for about 500, used injectors -150-200
and sell the stuff you have for what you can get

and for about another 500 you can finish it the

its true kids sttama and car tuning ar not your only options
they over price everything so they can make a kit....

shop around
most of you guys look at 5000 for a ic'd setup and cringe..i do to
of course thats not exact numbers for everything but you will find the stuff cheapier if you peice it together.....

but 1100 for the ic alone is f*#@ing mind numbing.... import ic' are the same
you just need one that has the outlet and inlet going in the rigth direction

sorry to hijack the thread

good luck

Not really thinkin a pain in the ass in hard, just you gotta take off quite a bit to do it, but you can keep your engine in. Just gotta take most of the stuff off. lol

HAVE FAITH!!

Plus it would be good practice for me, i'm workin on goin to ICC for GM-ASEP next year..

I dont race, so I am trying to find my best method......

less money spent on modding a GT is money saved.......were not SC so the mods you have are good unless you wanna dump bigger money into it.......save the money until you get a GF......that way you have set aside cash amount for when she makes you spend the rest on her........

Ha ha...a gf....I have a finace...lol!!! Well I am talking to bumpin about his CSC, but like everyone says...the more power the more that breaks. Since I have a gt, should I just get a hood and be done?
