what to do next.

i don't have that much money but i can't stand leaving my car how it is. i have everything that is in my sig. i also have the cc306 cam at home now, just not in the car yet. i am also in the process of getting piecing the suspension together. besides traction parts, what else shoudl i do performance wise. i don't want to run too much nitrous. is it time to pull the motor and go internal, or shoudl i do a few more bolt-ons like heads.

How much of a budget do you have to work with? Ported heads from a reputable porter will run you a decent amount of change. Even a properly set up nitrous system with all the bells and whistles will run you over a grand easy. Probably a cheap mod would be a mail-order tune, that should add some gains over your Hypertech tune.

A good port service from Lloyd for example (www.eportworks.com) can run around 800 bucks and beyond. You don't necessarily need a bigger TB and ported intake, although it should provide some additional gains.
