Hey guys i need help with choosing what to buy for my car. i have like 500-600$ to spend on parts. i was thinking an intercooler but idk any suggestions?

IC pipes, look at the Injen or ETS kit. Or a new IC but I think I would tell you to get injectors and a fuel pump if you can switch to E-85. With injectors, 255 fuel pump, and a tune, I picked up 79WHP and 88WTQ on the stock turbo!!!

well here is the thing i am stuck in FL for now so yeah its usual only 90 degree turns here. I have tires i get them yearly (damn star specs), have swift springs, have IC pipes, have 255 pump. What i was considering Intercooler 3.5 from ets is like 590$ and an AGP with cast end tanks is 574$ both at MAP. Then i was thinking maybe some 272 cams used for like 350$ and i can spend a little now on idk injectors.

I would go FMIC - hot area (FL). Extra cooling could be good there.

If i was buying cams, I would not go with 272's, if your going on there you might as well do it once and save up either for some kelfords or GSC1's.... I would not buy used cams either, its just one of those parts I would never do used....
I would second the intercooler at this point....

man, its a good thing i didn't say i used hks 272's in my setup, LOL....
its an okay cam and worked well for my setup but if I had to do it alllllllllll over again, I would buy the kelford or gsc1 cam but wait until i could get the head ported and put springs and retainers in there with the cams to get the most of that section of the build. I am mad i didn't go that route, I easily could of made 550 whp with my 50 trim setup if I did a few extra steps....
I would rock the ETS intercooler if those are your only 2 choices.
