I got a budget of 3000 buck i wanna do the ram air hood would would prob. bring me down to 2000 buck so what can i do with that open to any suggestion please help me out thank....

 

You are too vague in what you are asking for- what do you want to put the money towards- handling, power, appearance, braking, sound, etc etc? You could easily dump $2k into any of those individually.

Personally, I'd do an L67 top swap- that would run about $1k being conservative, then maybe some used 1.9 rockers for $250, a set of headers for $350, then swap to a smaller pulley and then pick up a tuner or have it tuned for you.

 

If you haven't already, i definitely suggest getting a downpipe with a high flow cat which will get rid of the ubend. Youll feelsome difference and get a littledeeper tone. Check out zzperformance.com, pfyc.com, 3800performance.com, and ebay for lots o stuff. To get an idea about what ya would need for the l67 swap check out wbodystore.com. Other than that... do what I usually do, just search through the forums.Also check out clubgp.com for some more ideas and for sales as they usually have alot.

 

Budget and Mods are being added to my "two words you don't put in a sentence" list.

X2 on the L67 swap.

Another good option is to get a Tuner. Be prepared to spend hours studying it though.
