Obviously the words performance upgrades and budget dont go well together at all, but in my current case right now, funds that i had set asside for the SS need to be re-evaluated! Only looking to spend a few $$ on something to bring up my hp. ( looking to spend under 700 ) My current setup is...

- Hennessey Intake setup
- Gm performance catback backs
- Powerbond underdrive pulley
- Hotchkis springs, bushings, swaybars, heavy duty end links front and back

i was considering A plugin tuner or maybe cut-out exhaust... any recommendations on parts or specific brands that are on the affordable side of town? Please let me know ( NO LOW BLOWS PLEASE)

This is only temporary until things smoothen out for me, but i want get something on there for the summer!

THANKS!

Best bang for the buck in your situation is maybe a dyno tune. But if you are planning future mods, as in, headers, cam etc.......then maybe not. Thats why its hard on a budget. Maybe the best course of action is to enjoy what you got till you can afford what you want + tune.

I got a great deal from RDP Motorsports on basic bolt-ons and a handheld tuner. You might want to talk to dynosteve. Tell him I sent you.
