I have roughly $1500 - $2000 I'm going to spend on my car soon, and there's a few things I want to do.

First, I want to redo my intake. CAI, TB, Plenum, and Manifold. I want to get all of this for under $1000. Which really isn't that hard to accomplish, I just have to look for it. But, is it worth getting a 70mm TB now if I'll be s/cing the car within a few years? I'm going to be saving my money for the next few years (since all the bolt-ons that I want are out of the way) to get a s/c, stroker kit, paint job, and also, maybe redo my interior. (it's tan right now, want to change it to black to match the exterior)

The harder part now. The rest of when I'd like to get is going to be a pretty penny. I originally wanted to get JBA Headers and Off-road H, but that'll put me well over my mark. So I'm just going to hold off until I have my next bit of extra money. SO now, I'm looking at getting a few cosmetic pieces, ie chin spoiler, grill delete, and rear trim panel. I also need a tuner, which I'll get from Bamachips. Friends have gotten thier flash tuners from Doug and they don't regret it at all.

I'd also like to be able to get an off-road H pipe. I was looking at BBK, but they don't make one for factory headers. I'm wondering if it's worth getting it now when I'll be wanting to get headers and H pipe later.

Any input here will help. Thanks in advance.

 

I say to start get this kit.

intake manifold, upper plenum, and 75mm TB for 649.95 plus shipping. then you will need to get a CAI. which sould be around 200. all that can be had under $1000.

Then I guess the tuner.

But I would also think about doing some suspension. Maybe the steesa g-trac stage 1 for now.

Only problem is that I've heard some bad things about Typhoon systems...

I wanted to do Dragon TB and Plenum. I've heard a lot of good things about those. Also, I already have a Strut tower on order. Got it for under $80.

 

really what did you hear about the typhoon systems?

 

Just that it is very poor quality. Daily driving will break it around 10k miles I heard. Which is why I'm looking at the Dragon brand. Similar price, but better quality.
