Biggest bag for the buck addon

Had my 94 3.4L v6 camaro for about 4 months now.... Everything is running perfect, execpt for one of my modules, but thats another strory...

anyways, money is tight at the moment, but i'm just curious on which mod or addon for my car would be the biggest bang for the buck... kind like to have something to save up for...

I'd like to add a few things to my car to up the performance and horsepower a bit, not looking to go all out, because i'd would have bought a z28 for that... maybe an SS.... hmmm

just like to know what this addon would cost, added horsepower and where the heck i can get it from?

I haven't done much research yet... been working and sleeping to much

cold air induction and cat back are always good places to start..
try thunder racing, fast toys, summit racing.....

Cat back and CAI are good...i know you said you dont want to go all out but the true bang for buck mod is N20.

Either start off with intake and exhaust .

But the biggest bang for buck I would say is Gears and LSD!! Its worth .4 off your 1/4 mile.

Yup, hate to say it but best bang per buck is nitrous.

I spent roughly $600 give or take on the nitrous kit.

Figure the SLP intake is $200 and a catback is around $200-300, it doesn't give the same performance as the nitrous does for roughly the same cost.

Of course, you would need to spend some $$$ to get your car ready for nitrous...can't just go putting it on a stock car, ya know.

theres a 94 z28 in our paper for $3500, that would make a nice upgrade. Or if you just wanted to do a motor swap, there's a totaled 93 Z for $1900, that way you could snag the suspension and all that as well. honestly, its the best way to go because without nitrous or forced induction its not going to beat a v8.
