Last year I bought a 88 Iroc and I would really like to make it faster. Unfortunately I am not that rich, so I was looking for ideas that werent that expensive. But I'll take all advice. Thanks

 

how much money do you have to spend? i'd go to a library or something and start readin some gm high performance mags or super chevy mags tons of few mods in there worth a few tenths on ur ET's

 

Well I can always save my money so it would just have to be a matter of time if something were to be expensive. All winter I saved up so I can get it painted, get a daytona style hood, buy a flowmaster, tires and theres a lot more. So I guess I will lokk at some car mags and hopefully they will help.

 

I heard giving your car to me takes about 3 seconts off your 1/4.
I think most people would start with intake and exhaust though.

 

Well I agree it would help if we had some rough idea of what you wanted to spend. Also what kinda IROC is it? L98 305? 5- Speed, Auto?

If you an auto car, a stall convertor should always be one of your first buys. And the cam that came in the autos are trash so thats a good idea.

 

I have a K&N filter to help it breath better, $10 plus shipping and I'll clean it before I send it. :-) , retails for $35. Look in the for sale thread or email me.

 

things that can be done for under 200 bucks- port your own heads, used bolt ons. theres more stuff. I have my bag of engine tricks, I took of 5 tenths off my 94 with only spending 50 bucks. magazines a a good source but usual they only state the stuff even monkeys could figure out . I just bought a 88 yesterday but its v6. good luck person

 

you could always paint the car youself and use the saved cash for parts

 

hunney, dont fret, some cool things you can do for cheap , thier real fun to, subframe connectors there great, cut some 10,s of your 60ft. also the flowmaster exhaust is great to thats a real fun mod plus it sounds good, and some ram air boxes thier fun to great pull on the highway, for all those minus the exhaust youll pay about 300 which will get you everything plus 2 kand n filters, and still have some cash left over for lunch. let us know what you decide. look on ebay for the filters and boxes

 

also dont be afraid to buy stuff from people on the forums. be careful but dont be afraid i saved myself 700 bucks on some sweet torq thrust rims off of here

 

if its a tpi car then theres a lot of stuff you can do to gain horse power and not cost you a whole lot. check out www.thirdgen.org they have a tech section that tells you how to do a lot of free and cheap mods yourself to gain power.

 

Where in NY is everybody? I just realized half of us replying and asking the question are all in ny.
I'm from Glen Cove, going to college up at Oneonta.

 

amherst near buffalo ny goin to canisius

 

free mods would be to port and polish the plenum, runners and heads if your up to it. can do it yourself with a dremel tool. or you can buy new intake and runners and such, but most cost a few bucks. single out mufflers also gain some lost power through the exaust. a cheap mod would be some gears, no HP gain but it'll make you go faster

 

pyro9862 im right up route 23 from you. im in norwich which is only 30 mins from oneonta at the most.
