How to get the most performance for my $

[00RedGAGT]

Hey, I want to do some performance mods to my 2000 Grand Am GT. I don't have a lot of money due to college so I am kind of limited. If anybody has suggestions of what I could do to my car please respond. I have been thinking of getting the upper and lower intakes from Street Lethal Performance and maybe an ASE chip. Does anybody know exactly how much power I will gain with these mods.

CAI & Aftermarket Exhaust... I got them both from Doctorspeed.com.. i'm in the same situation.. and those were my first mods.

depending on the driver skill and other small factors you should typically drop about .5 to .8 or so off your 1/4 time. (not always the case though)

Intake and exhaust brought me from 15.8-15.9 down to 15.2-15.3

ran a 15.8 stock, 15.5 with cai, and 15.3 with slp
and others have done much better than that

I bet experience driving the car has a lot to help w/ that..

let's see back in the day just from constantly going to the track and not changing anything I dropped my time by 1.1seconds...

I think you guys give slightly too much credit to your modifications.. yeh it is restrictive but really.

All Thoes times just go to shome me that I need to Refine My Setup with a better Cold air and a better exhaust setup, I wouldent mind running a 14.5 with my Current setup Plus the CAI and exhaust refinments.

With some better traction I could have probably hit a 14.7

I know with my doctor speed cai and SLP i have noticed alot more go in my car. When i hit 2nd gear its like something just grabs my tires and away we go. Its alot different then when i bought the car. Thats only 2 mods. Maybe its just me.
