Basically ive been wanting to do more performance mods to my car, maybe header dp and tune 2.9 pulley...but ive been gettin kinda discouraged lately if its even worth the money when there is all this talk like the tc's even with all that stuff will be able to beat me with just a tune and a couple other mods, and now my friends got an evo... so im not even sure if doing all that is even worth it if ill still be losing..thoughts?

 

There will always be someone faster then you. If you want to be faster then what you are now, upgrade your car. If you want to stay slow, leave it alone.

well ya i understand that...but i guess what im really getting at will doing those things i mentioned make a noticeable difference in power that its worth the money

 

A tune and ottp stage 1 kit can put down 270ish whp. More with meth. If that is worth it to you then do it =D.

 

x2..

 

Check this out dude!! I had my car for 2years with just CAI as my only mod. Just last week i decide to drop to a HeatX, 2.6 pulley, OTT Tune and 60#s .... yes their is a big difference. My buddy has a SSTC and with just bolt on's (exhaust, chargepipe etc.!) he still beat me!

It really depends on how far you wanna take the LSJ....you can TVS it or Twincharged thru ZZP .... or straight drop a turbo in as a replacment! Just remember if you put a smaller pulley on ur car "cooling mods" are a must do. Their is alot you can do with the LSJ 'look @ AREA47' he made it into a mag!! he runs a LSJ setup!!

 

ya man those tc's are strong... its unfortunate i cant trade in for one i really would even though i love my car they jus have so much more potential...oh well maybe ill do more work well see

 

I've got similar mods to you and believe me, I go through the same thing everyday haha. Sometimes I think I should trade for a ss/tc but I really don't think it's worth it to have another $18k loan on essentially the same car. I think what I'm going to do is pay of my s/c, keep it, then buy a V8 and do performance the right way haha

 

there will always be somethin faster either come high or stay home. So what happens if you got a t/c and lost to a s/c would you be mad and wanna trade your t/c for a s/c? mod and lose, and mod and win. Its the natural of the beast
