best mod

[flacopower]

Just wanted to know what each member feels his best performance modification was, how much it cost, and how hard it was to install 1-10 scale... since i am a poor college kid my best mod has been the DIY short shifter that cost like $10 total and was about a 2 on the 1-10 scale since i didnt' have anything to cut metal with...

def my turbo...cash wise i think to build my whole engine it is gonna be like 2k, which is a lot bc i am also a poor college kid...on the diff scale it would be about a 10 bc i made pretty much everything in my set up but the turbo, intercooler, and internals...second would also be a short shifter which cost about the same as urs and about the same on the scale.

Build a whole engine for 2k? Maybe for a lawn mower or something. Even if you did all the work yourself you couldn't build your whole engine for 2k. Rods, pistons, sleeves, valves, valve springs/retainers, gaskets, etc., etc. The last estimate I got for just the BOTTOM end being built was like $3400, and the top end would most likely run another 1k.

As for the thread, nitrous was definitely the best for the money. I haven't used it in like 7-8 months cuz I've been too busy to fix the leak in my line, but when I did it was pretty fast. I would only rate it as like a 6 to install. It took a little bit of drilling and connecting a few wires, but overall it was fairly easy. Best of all it only cost about $500 with all the accessories. I'm a poor college kid too ... so just work your ass off in the summer like I do and save up.

Springs. It's the best bang for the buck, plus you get looks and handling.

damn bud i dont know where the fuck you are getting your estimates from or what, but i am building my whole engine for under 2 k. I just got the pistons for 465, rods are gonna be 365, whole engine gaskets 100 shipped, clutch that will hold 400hp/tq 280, dont want a new cam or springs bc i am only taking it to 7 and with a turbo i am goingt o be making power al the way up to it. I do do all the work myself, or with my brother, so i can build it for under 2. I also know some people who know some people so i can get some parts and shit for realatively cheap. I almost bought some darton sleeves the other day for 200 shipped brand new, but i am going to use a sleeve stabalizer instead. So yes, i can build an entire engine for 2k.

If you aren't getting sleeves or building the top end that is not building the WHOLE engine. The price I was referring to was with new bearings, sleeves, heat tanking, balance and blue printing, etc ... which is a full engine build. I know you can get rods and pistons for cheap, and they are the most necessary parts being the weakest links and all. I would really like to see where you were going to get sleeves for $200 shipped new because I've never seen them for less than half that price. I will probably just end up replacing the rods and pistons for now too since it's all I will be able to afford, but I don't want to do it myself and risk screwing it up.
