I have a 2002 Monte N/A. Added the ZZP 2.5 downpipe with cat, K&N CAI, PCM 1.0 and I was just thinking about getting some more power without going spending tons of money on a Top Swap or anything like that. What other "Bolt ons" can anyone suggest. I would like to keep my budget under $300. Was looking at a high flow throttle body at ZZP is this worth it? Basically I have the $50 I got from them for the cat return and I know $50 isnt going to do much so I can throw a little more in but any ideas?

the HVTB isn't really going to do much but make your intake louder.

I would say your next bang for the buck is going to be the HV3 insert and ER Ratio Rockers. Although those are a little expensive.

A 180° Thermostat will help some underhood temperatures for your CAI.

Also look into getting a stainless steel front powerlog. That will help you exhaust better because the front exhaust manifold is very restrictive. You don't HAVE to do front and back, just the front will give gains.

(p.s. that's the build on my car)
