Default Next Mod

After installing my wheels & tires and dropping the car.
What should my next mod be?

I have approx 175.00 left

I was thinking that i want to add a little more HP to my car
How can I do that?

Any help is appreciated

Thnks

175...... Lightweight crank pulley or intake.

Pulley will give you a better kick in the pants.

Correct me if I am wrong but, if your xB is an automatic a pulley won't help all that much. Isn't that correct?

I would go with a cold air intake. The main diff between a short ram and a cold air is pretty simple. The cold air intake will be longer and will recieve colder air than the short ram. I personally think it is a waste on money to buy a short ram. It will just pull heat off the motor which 't really isn't a cost worth idea. Spend a few bucks more and go with a true cold air intake. Injen is a great intake system. My 2 cents.

idk on the pulley....i should ask around but either way its a mod.

this is a call out to anyone in washington state with an injen cold air intake, i need your car for a dyno test! I am now curious, honeslty though the short ram is far from the engine and pulls air out out by the wheel well. and with the rain we get here the cold air just didnt seem like a good idea. and can someone post some pics of a cold air install? thx

oh the cold air goes down a bit, honestly i think the short ram is better. i am trying to get a hold of a cold air to do dyno tests with it. sense you are in florida to order an intake call enjuku racing (1-888-772-033, they have been great to me. if you ask for ray, and tell them i sent you that might help!
