Ahh Graduation..... $$$

So technically i graduate from highschool tomorrow, even though i was done with highschool in january, but the actual graduation is when the cash is coming in $$$$

i have $600 as of now and thats only from like 2 people. expecting some more, sooo here's what im thinking.

I have a 2.4L btw

Currently my mods are:

1. Magnaflow Exhaust
2. Weapon-R intake
3. TWM Short Shifter
4. Eibach Springs
5. Torque Foward Front/Rear struts

Now here's what im thinking of getting...

1. Scdyne Header
2. Lightweight Crankshaft Pulley
3. ECU Tune

any suggestions etc? or does what i have planned sound good?

any input would be appreciated.

I'd be weary about trying to purchase a SCDyne header right now. Maybe check out another brand or something...

Go with the Clear Image Header, just the same except no hassles and you want the header before the tune

Beck Chevrolet and I started to laugh and thought of you man!!!!

I dunno what alighter crank pully is gonna do. I don't think the benefit is worth the agg. may help a little, but on a street car... ehhhh.

I'd do the header and tune.

well. IIIII would just blow it on strippers, but your idea is good too.

Im very happy with my header. I had no kinds of hassels, and btw i noticed an pretty nice improvement with the pulley and it took me about 15 mins to install so imo it was defintly worth it.

ecu tune would be the best pick i think...or you could just hold out and save for a turbo...just an idea though...and oh there is some one on here making carbon fiber bow ties for our cars..theyd look awesome on your black..and i also think they would look great on orange too

I'd save it and figure out what kind of power gains you're aiming for ultimately.

on the 2.4 its super simple you jack it up take the passneger wheel off and theres a piece of plastic you take off and you get an socket and take the bolt holding the pulley on, and then you put it all back together
