Mod Q's about the Lancer

Ok guys and girls....

I personally own an EVO, my girlfriend owns an 03 Lancer ES. She asked earlier what she can do to her car for $500. I of course told her the basics....cat back or rims MAYBE....but definately Intake, Strut Bars...etc. Of course I say save up for a Turbo or Supercharger....but that's gonna be a while. She wants more power and definately more torque "right now"! LOL

My question is....what have you guys done for mods to your Regular Lancers (I don't need help with my EVO) for about $500 and do you out of experience have any suggestions for what are some of the better parts for the car.

Thanks!

Thanks guys!

Anyone have this unit in their car and what kind of a whp and tq difference will she get on a stock car?

If she does do that I just might buy her an intake for the hell of it.

Thanks again guys!

I have the earlier version of it and it got me about 10% gains (my dyno was 109 whp and 120 wtq). And the newer version gives a little more than that, and also increases the gains of other mods as well!

Get her to save a little more and get a SRI and the PB. It's a huge difference. I drove with these for about a week before I put my cat-back on. Indeed the best bang for the buck!
It'll be around 550 to 600 with shipping.
