I'm not looking to COMPETE with these types of cars lol! I'm just looking for some insight on what is actually available to me from people who know what they're talking about that is all.

Thanks for the list andrew

Basically we already told you. What is cheap and available you won't be happy with. Without taking the top off the motor or adding a turbo your basically stuck with headers (expensive) Plog, 3" DP, CAI. Rockers or cam your lookin at over $400 for new.

Your best bang for the buck will be a custom tune on the PCM.

Otherwise start saving cause if your looking for more now your only gonna get hungrier. Just ask Chico. He had his L36 pimped out to the max (short of a stroker)and gave up and went with forced induction.

He clearly stated that he didn't have money for such a mod let alone a new car.

sounds like you need to live with the car for a while and save up for some major work or a gtp. just out of curiosity, why did you buy a car like the gt if you wanted to do stop light raching w/ it.... I mean for the same money you can pickup 100+ different cars that are much faster out of the box. camaros and transams come to mind....

just my .02 if your going to play, play with the right toys.... even the gtp is fairly placid next to a stock transam w/ the right package and the used price is fairly close.

Everyone is taking my question completely wrong !!!

I was merely saying that i had a few stop and go's between lights with a car and was SEVERLY under matched performance wise and was just CURIOUS to see if there was anything at my disposal while maintaining a budget to improve it. Thats it .. i'm not wanting to race nor do i have nearly the amount of cash to do so.

So thanks to the people that DID nicely suggest some things !

notontopic

But would these RIMS be able to support my car ?

Thanks smile
