Thread: Speed Speed Speed!

What's the most cost effective mod(s) to gain speed?

Weight reduction! Cost = 0


lolz!

Honestly though... speed in a 2 ton car is relative and not inversely proportional to cost! You wanna go FAST, you gotta pay! Cost relation then to speed becomes personal. Probably going turbo would be highest speed/cost ratio returns. Unless you want to throw all sanity to the wind, Nitros, lol...

What would it take to get a gtp down to like 14.5?

its already a 14 second car. if you can drive it.

I know, but just a slightly lower 14. Shave off like two or three tenths

headers and a pulley drop would be the cheapest way. that should shave a bit off. then you still need to get traction off the line.

I just wish my car was more competetive. Then I could actually give my bro a run for his money

Wouldn't do a pulley drop with the miles I have on my tranny though

a stock engine is a problem for these trannys lol

but a 3.4 aint all that much, its when you cam, and ic and drop to a real small pulley, that will add some HP, then the tranny will be a screaming.

weight reduction. shift kit. 100 shot of nitrous.
headers and a tune on stock pulley could yield some gains for sure, but a pulley drop would probably be better.

I'm interested in that stuff. But at the same time, I'd be a high school student dumping money into something that I won't get my money out of

whats maybe 500-700 bucks on a 3.4 setup for hours and hours of enjoyment?

I mean I guess lol. We'll see. Probably going to dump money into tint first.

heres a tip, any modding you do is because you want it, dont ever expect to make back the cost of your mods on a resale. 90% of the time it wont happen, only fools buy modded cars. as most of the time the owner knows its done for, so they sell it with a this almighty mod list, sooner or later some sucker buys it. then it blows up on them. then they show up here lol

It's a car, you should realize early on, cars will always be depreciating, and will always be money pits. Just enjoy the ride.

If you want to go fast then why is one of your first mods tint?

Because my car gets hot as balls lol. It still will, just not as bad

headers, and a pulley cheap and effective oh and if you dont have it a 180 *tstat

I'm curious on the tstat. Don't combustion engines run more effectively when at warmer temps? Obviously not too hot though lol

180 thermo = waste of 10 bucks.
