for under a thousand...
get headers and a 3.4 pulley, a tune and colder plugs. should get you into the 14's.

**txslow6** · 03-11-2012

I vote 1.9 modified rockers and cheap headers. Will give you plenty of umph without breaking the bank.

i do not really have time to get into the motor really so im just lookin into bolt on like headers, 3.4 pulley, 180 thermostat stuff like that maybe cam

**ctracer** · 03-12-2012

cam requires you to tear down your motor. until then i would stick with a basic 3.4 setup.

**Matt Palm** · 03-12-2012

yeah true and i found a guy kinda local who does tuning and he was recommended by several people

Cam=bolt on?

**dsmuts** · 03-12-2012

Headers $200
modded 1.9's $250
port your sc free
Mps with 3.4 $100
Custom tune $100?

Should put you into mid 13's

**Matt Palm** · 03-12-2012

i said maybe cam because the other things i listed were bolt ons and i didnt know if i wanted to get into my motor like that

With rockers you won't have to really get in to the engine. Just unbolt the vale covers and stock rockers and thenbolt on the 1.9's. If not going with rockers then a basic 3.4 setup will suit you nicely.

$1000 in a 5 year cd? So in five years you'll have what $1050? The interest rates are stupid low right now.

**matt5112** · 03-13-2012

Just curious, has anyone felt an improvement from rockers on an m90 car?

I didnt, but I dont notice much.

**txslow6** · 03-13-2012

I noticed a huge difference from 4K-6K. Car woke up dramatically.

**AmericanSoldier** · 03-13-2012

Leave your thermostat stock.
