Thumbs up

If you are talking about performance/power, I guess lid, CAI, catback would be the best choices.

Maybe even used headers or nitrous kit, too...

If you buy (lid, CAI, catback) used, you can easily get all of them for under $400.

You won't be able to have them installed for 400, though. Do the work yourself and save the $$$.

Good luck!

With $400 to spend I would start out with the intake aka "lid". There you will see the highest gains from a single bolt-on mod (under $400)

However, I noticed your in California and are subject to CARB smog laws. Make sure the lid has a CARB cert number or says 50 state legal.

Yes, and for better handling in the turns, too.

about how much do those things run for? and how significant are they? i.e. if i take off at 2000 rpm and get some traction loss, will i be able to take off at 2000-2500 cleanly?
