    All suggestions will be taken into account, but I don't have much money to do this, less than $50 every month or so. Slowly looking to upgrade it. Remember, keeping it N/A

    DIY intake. Costs about $40. With a budget like that that's about all you could for now.

    Yeah, i've been thinking about the DIY intake, seen a bunch of videos on how to do it, and I was thinking AL spark plugs as well? I snowblow through the winter as well, so that kind of decides my income, more snow=more money.

    spark plugs are pointless. downpipe hv3 and intake are really the only things to do to a n/a if you dont wanna boost

    Yup. Unless you just wanna make it look goofy and do cheap appearance crap. I'm seeing no point in messing with it with that income IMO.

    Yeah, it is pitiful, I know, but I think I'm going to save up for a little while, and one thing that is awesome, and you guys will probably hate me for it, is there iis a wrecked '95 GP GT in the town that i live in, and it's sat for about 6 years, and it has the sexy pregen 5-spokes, I think I'll save up for those.

    Yeah, I honestly never thought about them until I joined this forum haha. Then I realised how good they look on these GPs.

    Question for you.. is all the maintenance up to speed? If not..start there and recover the lost power.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Hard to really do anything with that budget but I would suggest maybe a DIY intake, then just stick with minor aesthetics like inlays etc and save for when something does break you can afford to replace it quick.
