I got about 1,000 to spend and debating on what to do for my next mod. My choices so far are:

- ETS v2 exhaust
- Tune
- Swift Springs, Whiteline FRC kit, alignment

Which mod should I go for next?

 

Tune is the most bang for your buck. It'll only run 500 or a little less though.

The best thing you could probably do with $1000 is to get a day or two of driving school or a track day

 

I was looking in getting the COBB pro-tune, so I'm going to have to add 500 for the v3.

 

Go to a good shop in the area that tunes open source. There is no benefit to tuning on an AP, other than the small form factor you can carry around with some data logging capability.

What mods do you have so far? For 1k, the most gains would probably be from getting a test pipe and pro tune. That can be had for ~$500 for tune and under $300 for the test pipe.

 

Moore Auto is right down the street from me. I was going to hit them up for my tune.

As of now, none really. Just the regular maintenance stuff, twm shifter cage and bushings, relays, mudflaps.

 

Save up to get the exhaust, then tune after!

 

Also, should I get an EBC or keep the stock boost?

 

If you end up doing a tune, an EBC is going to be very helpful...and they aren't too expensive. I'd definitely pick one up for the tune.

And I have heard good things about Moore. I'm sure they'll give you a nice tune!

 

I would recommend intake, exhaust, tune. Hallman pro would be the best boost controller for you.

Hallman better than the grimmspeed EBC?

 

Get the GM BCS. Cheap and works well!

 

I will go with the exhaust,grimmspeed ebc,walbro 255 but is kind of difficult because I wiil recommend to upgrade the intake and intercooler and piping.

Thanks for all the input!! I'm leaning towards getting a HFC, EBC, tune.

 

Might as well throw in a $40 drop in air filter too
