got about $600 for mods need help - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have about $600 maybe a little more and I want parts to make my car faster, I'm going to buy a viteese throttle controller, I have an intake, ported throttle body, catch can, exhaust, tune, apex air scoop, and lowering springs. I want something else to make my car faster but I have no idea what to get, any thoughts? I'll have about 420 left over after the throttle controller.

Jacfab intake manifold spacer (extendolator) and ported intaked manifold. He gives you special pricing if you purchase both. Should be about 400 dollars after the core fee is returned. Free shipping. Both have been dyno proven to provide great gains. Easy to install. Take the remaining 20 dollars, gas up and have fun with the new found performance increase.

Vitesse controller is a good but , but I do think the ex nitrious kit is only 600-700 shipped? But that's not really a constant just there when you want it just an option for an extra 100+ ponies

Zex nitrious kit*

I'm all for nitrous as its a great bang for your buck mod but if your going to do it, I would want to do it right so that your safe doing it. That would include getting a window switch, remote bottle opener and warmer for that kit and maybe even a second solenoid in case the first one fails. Are you planning on installing it yourself or have a shop do it? How much of a shot are you going to run? If its 100 or over then you would want a nitrous tune to realize the best possible gains. How often are you going to use that much power? Are you going to track it? If you are planning on using it for street use, refer to the regulations in your particular area. Here in SoCal, if John Q. Law catches you using nitrous for street use they crush your car. If you want to do nitrous safely you're talking at well in excess of 1000 dollars and thats way over your budget. The suggestion I gave you (ported intake manifold and manifold spacer) gives you great gains that you can use all the time . You also don't have to spend 4-6 dollars a pound to refill it when it gets low. Just my 2 cents OP. Good luck and enjoy whatever your decision. I just wanted to provide an objective view point from all angles.

That's 278 dollars over his budget.
