I've got about a 1000 to spent I just ordered my body kit and carbon hood now I need some power to go with it. Thanks

not for 1000 dollars will you get power. go with suspension then you can have fun driving with the "power" you have now.

i dont know what your mods are, but if you want dyno proven parts here is a list of a few things that will net you power.
injen intake
dme header or weaponr r header
nst pulleys
greddy, tanabe, magnaflow exhaust

How much power are you looking to gain? If you're looking for a minor improvement you could go with any of the mods jimmy suggested, but if you want a noticeable increase in power you should save up and buy a turbo kit.

Get rid of the body kit and spend the money on a turbo.

F*ck, if had 1000 laying around.... I would be searching the classifieds like a **** to find a used turbo kit. God i want boost so bad

I would return the hood and "body kit", save up the the rest of the money, buy a turbo kit. But thats just me... since i don't need a body nor CF hood... rather power...

Some people prefer looks over performance. I am doing looks first, then once I pay the car off I will start messing with the motor.

I would have went with a lip kit over a body kit but that's just me.

Two words . . . TURBO KIT

If you've got $1000 bucks laying around you're more than halfway there already. A fast sleeper is always better than a slow looker.

Exactly - my 400+whp tc looks stock lol

Oh and for $1000, the only thing that will give you a noticeable power gain is nitrous. As long as its a wet shot, Id say a 50 shot is safe and will give you a noticeable power gain. Id also recommend getting a window switch as a safety measure so itll cut the spray above redline in case you hit the limiter. All in all a good setup can be had for $600-700 ish. Than get an intake with what you have left over. Ive heard of a few people having issues with trying to find a way to tap the stock intake for n02.

Yeah i'd go with the turbo kit. It is much more than $1000 but so worth it im sure. I'm debating hardcore to get one.

Luisfc1972

how much more gas would a turbo burn?

skinnayyy

i average 20 mpg. I'm at 300 whp and a little rich to make for a super conservative tune though. If you're only shooting for like 230 or somethign like that, it won't be as drastic of a drop.

Mainly depends on how you drive it.

save up for turbo, or juice it. I spray a 125 shot on a built motor, and walk all over the 2 turbo'd tc's by me. you can easily make 220whp with a GOOD nitrous set up without any issues on a stock motor on a 75 shot. Learn how to use it, then go for it. imo, boost is a lot funner, and feels more natural, but nitrous is a hell of a time too if your into the nitrous idea PM me for detailed info, dont go out and buy a juice kit and expect it to work good.

yeah NOS can be the best bang for your buck HP wise, but can also be a big bang for your buck if you don't do it right lol
