Best modd for buck?
Can someone tell me some mods that are worth buying? I already have gm stage 2 and airbox mod. I really dont have too much money to spend but just wondering if anyone saw some good power gains from anything other than what i have.

ok well there are no gains out of an intake( or very minimum... mainly for sound.. ) if ur lookin for preformance... get a 2.9 pully and get a custom tune( it will wake ur car up a bit) you could also go with methanol / alky injection, or even n20 ( best bang for the buck lol.. but definate draw backs to it) Theres a dry shot on ebay ( 25-75 i beleave) for like 300 bucks shipped...
Ps: personaly i hate n20 and i would not use it but if u like it the option is definatly there.

if you dont have a warrenty anymore or dont care about it like me then get a custom tune it will cost you 100-200$ and net you an easy 10-15 hp and tq and thats way better then an intake will give you for the same price

i spent 550 to get my car dyno tuned but they got 40 more whp out of it so i would say it was deff worth the money.
or go with a 3 inch exhaust and dont be cheap about it and get 2.5 like me, i went with the megan 2.5 and a custom down pipe and im not getting boost like i should cause its to small. now i gotta spend money all over again to get a 3 inch exhaust

40 more whp out of it?? Ya......ok.
Also a 2.5inch would create MORE boost, not less. A 3inch exhaust would have LESS boost.
You know absolutely nothing, I dislike you.

umm why spend like 300 bucks for like 4 more HP than you have now. thats not the best bang for your buck. start saving up for a smaller pulley and belt and tune. thats gonna net you more power than any of that ****. why let more air in and still be slow when you can add smaller pulleys and be alot faster. Thats the best bang for your buck. Then after that get yourself headers, DP, catback, intake, the works.
And remember, SC axles suck if you dont eliminate wheel hop.

ott stage 1....stock intake is ok if u do the mod..plastic isnt restrictive if u suck through a plastic straw that is 1 inch wide and then suck thru a aluminum straw thats the same it will be the same flow...i honestly belive intakes are just a good sells product..if its wide enough without a lot of bends ur not really going to see any gains going to a prettier looking intake.. but bakc to op...get rid of gm stage 2 the pully and injectors and seriously spend 500 on ott stage 1...
