non-turbo mods
i want to make my non turbo faster without converting to turbo and i want to do this as cheap as possible. are there any tweaks or cheap mods someone could recommend? this is prolly a long shot but id like to be able to get in the 5 to 6 second 0 - 60mph range.

defenitely. these are my plans as well, being that I just lost my rear rotor. Will a good street port (plan on having pinapple do it) along with header, exhaust, intake, ported intake manifold give me decent hp numbers?

Lighten it up. And then Go ask every 7 shop if they have a cheap header or other parts laying around. You can get cool stuff for cheap or free if you ask enough poeple.

if your lookin' to spend as little money as possible....gut cats....find a cheap header like mattrx7 said, ditch accesories, if you have a s4 air pump removal, buy a cheap cone filter, and even port your intake manifold (free!). All those mods are of little cost and will give a good performance jump.

i have an 86 gxl that i have just put a new street port motor in and has a pacesetter header followed by duel straight pipe all the my back to my borla exhaust. My intake is slightly modded. took off the air bok in favor of a cone filter with heat shield, which by the way is on a bracket so the air flow is better. 10mm spark plug wires and a lightwait flywheel. It goes pretty good now and those are some of my recommendations for you to do to your car. Rotary rocket

When gutting your cats.. make sure not to breath the dust in.. that **** isn't good for you.
Also.. do a search.
