Seriously, throw out a price range and what you want to do with it.

exhaust and intake with a tune if possible is probably your best bet

but do you want straight line performance(drag), cornering(track), overall performance(street)?

I perfer a combination of cornering and overall so full exhaust off a ss/sc would be a huge gain for your car, mate it with an intake and a tune and you wont even have spent 700 and you have a much happier car, then throw some springs(250) and a rear sway bar(between 150-250) and you have improved cornering. still have 800+ left to play with.

Sounds good, where would I find these parts? I have found a site name andysautosport.com seams to have a decent inventory of parts.

I wouldn't go through andy's auto sport for anything. I tried ordering a DC sports strut bar through them ages ago, and they were on backorder for months. Andy's did nothing to list this on the site or contact me... the 3rd time I called in (2 months later), they finally told me it was going to be another 5 months (at which point I cancelled the order).

That, and their prices suck.

Just say no to andysautosport. I would either buy from the venders or from other members on here. The ss/sc full exhaust you could get from the classified section here for very cheep. Tune from Clear Image(vender on here) the rest you will need to research to see what parts suit your needs.

yeah look on the classified section here yo will find tones of stuff for sale and read up on what u should do to ur car... good luck moding ur car and u can prob get a turbo kit for ur car for around 2k i would think... idk how much boost stock stuff will hold up(i am an lsj) so idk specs on ur motor sorry.

lol alot of fights over lsj and base modles... i drive a redline so i am in a diffrent class of my own but man everyone on here argues to much

Also now that i was thinkin about it u could do a compleat overhaul and then save money for boost later... do full internals and then u can have as much boost as u want
