[justin_kimbrough]

If you know of any cheap maybe "do it yourself" ways to get horsepower please let me know. This is for an 8g 4 cylinder :?:

sorry bro...no such thing....even a cai runs u like 2 bills brand new...i got mine used...headers...bout 2-300 used about 5 new.....nitrous kit...bout 500 for a basic kit (doesnt necesarily include all accesories u'l want)...turbo 2-4gs and supercharger kit 3500(approx) not including install....but if u want juss a lil improvement in performance u can get a k&n filter....exhaust wise 2 1/4in catback from yer local muffler shop should only run u between 100-200 dollars with u providing the muffler...hope this helps....welcome to our addiction

Not a mod to gain hp but a better reaction time. You can do the TB mod. It is free.

[leadfoot]

whats the TB mod?

[VypA]

when u say the throttle body mod u mean just pulling the two coolant lines off of the throttle body and hooking them together to keep coolant from running thru the TB right...? that keeps intake temps down a bit, and i would say its worth the couple minutes it takes to do it

[Messiah]

he means removing the slack in the throttle cable

[Auto-9]

Either that or unbolt your intake and exhaust. It'll make more power, but fail inspection every time https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif

If you want the power you will have to spend the money, nothing in this lifestyle comes cheap..

no kidding. i love questions like this. lets just say this. before i get my SDS, i dropped 15 grand into my car in 6 months, and it'll be slower than stock, haha. but yeah, no such thing as cheap hp.

[bam462]

two words that dont mix are aftermarket and cheap (well unless its weapon r) https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif cheapest way to get more power is to strip every dam thing outa your car EVERYTHING and your car will be lighter but ugly as shit

haha, nah, its just i lowered the compression ratio to 8.1-1. so, it will be slightly slower than stock. but, i've been drivin around a 93 explorer for 7 months, so the G will still seem fast anyway.

Ok I know this sounds stupid, but...Why did you lower the compression ratio?

[8ggalant]

yeah, exactly, i'll be supercharged probably with nitrous as a "shit i'm losing." lower compression = higher boost

[Jet Black]

alright thanks for clearing that up. https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif

Twisted are you using the JE or the Wiseco pistons..? and did you get the ARP studs yet?

[TWISTED II]

i'm using the wiseco pistons. ARP didn't make head studs for the 6G72. they said they can make them, but, the motor is ready to go back into the car, and i'm not waiting until ARP makes them https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif so, i bought new mitsu ones. i think those will be fine cuz i'm not running a lot of boost. i'll prolly have ARP make me a set over the winter when i get real crazy.

[escoson]

i got an idea.

1. gut the whole car except for driverseat. take everything out even the dash and carpet!
2. remove everything from the bottom of the headers back!
3. put on some 12" rims!
4. take out all the windows.
5. remove all doors!

you will be running like 13's if u drop all that shit. all u need is the chasis and engine!

[gost2002es]

anyone try that cyclone thing thats supposed to increase hp and gas mileage
??
