Re: can you make more power for little money?
Whats too much money? 100? 1000?
Free things you can do (for more performance, not power) :
1. Remove your snug top (thats about 200 lbs of weight you don't need)
2. Tune up. replace your plugs and wires. use fuel injector cleaner once every few months to keep your injectors clean (damn ethanol).
3. clean your thottle body
4. air up your tires
5. remove extra weight (subs, trash, stuff you done need).
If you have the money, replace the mechanical fan with an electric fan. Its probably the most noticeable thing you can do. And you dont have to buy a fancy aftermarket one either. Just take some measurements of your radiator and go troll the junkyards for one off another car that would work. try for one off a lincoln town car (if it fits). Those things move MASSIVE cfm and, at least around where i live, they are plentiful.
Dont bother with cold air intakes or exhaust (unless you like the sound of them). They dont do anything untill you get to about 5000 rpm anyway.
Keep your fluids changed too. motor, trans and diff.
good luck!
