380$ to spend, what to do!?

Just like the title says, i have 380$ to spend, ( i won week 1 of the NFL bets at work free money!) i was looking at zzp's website. With around that much i was thinking i can do..

2.9pulley
42# injectors
stage 2 belt
ecotec injector harness.

Does all that sound good? do i really need anything else? besides a tune? Help me out css.net!

intake and a 3.15" pulley form nate boosts to 13 and boosts much quicker than stock and you should get an intake it makes that s/c wine

Personally, I think a cold air intake would go nicely with than Megan exhaust or even Eibach Sportline springs. I like progression with modding. Start with the essentials: Intake, Exhaust, Springs. After that, move onto the real power adders. Just my 2 cents.

Intake, catback, and drop springs? You don't drive a Honda, there are much better mods then that. LOL Please don't.


First I would look for a place to tune around your area. If there is one available then that combo would work well, a great place to start! If your considering about upgrading more in the future you might think about 60# injectors so you don't have to but new injectors again. If not, I'm sure in the classifieds forum you can find most of those things cheaper, used.

...doesn't it say in your sig that YOU have springs? Its practically required that all cobalts be dropped at least a little bit to get rid of that horrid wheel gap and improve handling. Just because I suggested he does springs and intake doesn't mean he has to stop there.

If it were me, I'd do intake/header/downpipe first. Then I would start to drop pulley sizes, but the setup that you were saying will be fine with a tune.

Yeah, But not as a first mod. I didn't mean they were bad mods but I wouldn't get them first. Personally, I think the progress sway bar and dc strut bar made much more of a difference than the springs did. If doing suspension first I would recommend those items.

If you don't have s2, then I would suggest getting that...It's abit more than 380, but worth it imo.

If you have s2, go with like a 2.7 and 60#s...and a nice tune of course
