  • help; what can I do with $1000?

    I have done some searching, but with a 28.8 internet connection, I just dont have the time. I was wandering what mods I could do to my camaro to give it a bit of a punch with around $1,000? All I have now is a cat-back exhaust. Thank you in advance for your help.

                  Used HP Tuners usually goes for around $300, but thats about the only way to get it for that much. They also go pretty quick when they do pop up.

                      Paypal the funds to me; I'll buy several good items and do the install. I'll email you free pictures.

                      Other than that, I'd suggest Borla catback.

                        first off, thanks for all the replies. I live out in the boonies, and they offer no cable/DSL whatsoever. so, i'm stuck with 28.8.

                        what exactly is an hp tuner?

                        I think I'm going with an SLP cold air intake and possibly a whisper lid.

                        I'm also going to go with gears, but what do you guys recommend?

                        Also, what kind of hp gains should I expect?

                            75hp with gears....45 with the SLP cold air intake, 45hp with the K&N filter, 65hp with the SLP and K&N stickers, 89hp with the headers, 35hp with the high flow cat, around 50hp with the catback depending on the brand, 105hp with the HP tuning. i think thats about it that was listed. O', dont let people BS you with how fast they will say you'll go or how much HP you'll have with like valvetrain upgrades, nitrous or forced induction. i mean come on, you only get 15hp with a RKsport powerdyne supercharger...you only have a V6 so that crap doesnt help. i have full exhaust and full intake mods and i roast SS's and TA's all day 2 Fast 2 Furious
