3000$ to spend help

Well i'm all about perfomance so this change will be used for speed only, so not really interested in cosmetics or suspension. Basically i want to able to beat a stock cobra. Besides that i just want a mean street machine. Take in mind this is my daily driver so i don't want idling problems or unreliability. TIA

TBE (600), cams (500), cam gears (300), walbro (85), K&N drop-in (70), ECU reflash (400). That's estimated 2000 bucks in parts there. then figure in shipping/handling costs and labor if you're not installing it yourself.

Ignore the part about drag tires. New clutch maybe ($1000), but no need for "drag tires" on an AWD with bolt-ons...

Hey. I noticed everyone is telling this guy to get a Wally pump, but no one is telling him to get a boost controller. I assume this is just expected? Reading his post I would venture to say that he is probably completely stock or damn close to it. I mean becuase without running higher boost why would you need a pump for a tune, TBE, and Cams? It just seems worthless at that stage. Just my .2. Not saying anyone is wrong, just asking why.

I would second that, but maybe utec or xede instead of safc; and what Sayajin said dont forget the boost controller. That should get you ahead of a 99/01 Cobra(non S/C), and on par with a (stock)03/04Cobra S/C.

My old turbo kit! :-P

- Nah TBE (600) if you pick up the Megan TBE Zeus is selling
- Reflash (300)
or AFC
- Cams (550)
No gears, power won't be a huge gain for the money even though I myself picked them up.
- Fuel Pump (100)
- Helix intake with tune (165)
- Buschur or AMS front mount (650)
- Alcohol Injection (cooling mist 400)
- 680 or 750 cc injectors for safety and head studs (400)
- New Forge BC or Hallman Pro (89)

Didn't add it up but that sounds about right.

I spent around 5k and got: Exedy Twin, BR Deluxe FMIC, Lower IC pipes, 264 cams, HKS DLII Ignition, kevlar timing belt, ARP headstuds with Labor and some other misc things.

Just don't forget to factor in labor if you don't want to do the installs yourself.
