if you want a bang for your buck bolton, itd be.... NOTHING.

boltons alone on our cars are worthless especially with autos, the cost to performance ratio is stupid. like $1,000 for 4 hp or sumthing.

if you want bang for your buck, do the free airbox mod. thatll gain about the same hp as a $150 intake.

if you live in cali go aem or dc parts, all carb legal but like accordian said that is a mod that is worth it especilly if on a budget. any power from our car comes from tuning, get a nice piggy back or if your ballin get a standalone with the I/H/E you should see some nice numbers, not EVO killing numbers but nice for a daily cruiser, or just do a swap like a j32 or a h22 that way you can see some seriosu power

:thumbsup:

the main thing is getting rid of the resonator.

then do whatever you can to enhance the flow (get rid of restrictions).

it's free and should perform similarily to aftermarket cold air intakes (because neither will offer huge gains).

somebody on here has a 150,xxx engine shotting 75 shot of nitrous in there.
it depends on how much you spray and if you did it right or not.
get all the safety toys and you'll be looking at 800 but that's still better than

DC Sports Header >300
CAI or SRI >150-250
brand name exhaust > 500-700
pulleys>200-500

all those combined yield to 10WHP maybe more
nitrous yields 50-150 safely
