$600 to blow
Hey guys,
I'm new to these forums.
Well, over christmas i acquired $2500 for the car. Spent about 1900 so far,
TBE, Intake.
I have $600 left and was deciding between IC Piping, Swift Springs, or something else.
Main thing here is power, no handling suggestions please.
Exterior appliances come in a close 2nd.
Thanks for any info

I'm also pondering how you spend 1900 on an intake and a TBE.
I found the UICP to add a level of responsiveness to the throttle that was nice. However, for actual power creation, a tune will be better than any bolt on.
I'd go with a pro tune, or add 100 dollars and buy an AP.

Maybe he likes nice stuff. Have you looked at AMS' prices? My Specialty-X exhaust alone was more than that. 
I definitely agree with the tune. E85 is a killer upgrade but it requires parts and a tune, so out of your budget right now.

E-85?
Great mod, but out of his range right now
Injectors $500
Pump $250
Tune $300
Plus you will need a cable and laptop or you will never be able to go on a road trip. Unless you map every E-85 gas station on the trip every 180 miles or so.
$1900 is not terrible. JDM anything and the price explodes.

I was going to say hooker too, but the cost of a hotel room reduces the budget to "im gonna get crabs" level.
You could probably find a used AP for 650ish if you look around. Like everyone else is saying a tune for this car is a must, its more cost effective than any other mod available.
