What should i get next for 3k?....

Alright dudes.....so ive got 3k and i want some ideas of what to do next..ive got ets UICP and LICP with ets v2 full exhaust with hi flow cat, map downpipe. I have no guages or anything on the inside so consider that too. A tune thats compatable with that would be nice...but other than that, what would be some smart choices??

I would black out my rims, but guages would be sweet.

1. If the car is not tuned, you should start there.
2. Perhaps you should tell folks about your goals. Are you modding for a reason or just modding for the sake of modding?

fp red, injectors, fuel pump, e85 tune = 400 reliable whp for ~$3k (or, quite possibly, less if you're OK with used parts and do the installs yourself)

I would make get an intercooler before you tune for sure. It will make a huge difference in the end result and the overall performance of the car on a daily basis.

Thanks,

Michael

ETS 4" core FMIC kit = ~$1k
Intake? I didn't see it mentioned? AEM or ETS = ~$200-250
Pro-tune = ~$400

This with what you've already got will net you a VERY fun 350awhp daily driver on pump gas.

Send the last ~$1k to your lienholder as an extra 100% principle car payment.
