ok so ive just decided to keep my car after i got a new clutch put in. i already bought a fabspeed cat. bypass, and muffler bypass. now i want to know what other little things can i do real quick to get a little more pep out of the car. i want to see what i can do with the 3.2 im not much of a motor swap person and i dont have the money for a 3.6 anyway. this is a long term project so im not worried about streaching stuff over time.

so what i was thinking for next was

- a chip....but whats the best chip out there?

-an intake....but whats the best intake??

anything else that could be listed would be nice, i also plan on keeping my car full weight for now, i like a bit of a challenge, anyone can strip a car down, but i enjoy driving mine everyday and like to keep my ac and all that for now.

Thanks
Eric

Hey - I've got a 87 as well.
From what I have read - go seek Steve Wong for chips (www.911chips.com)
Changing intake to a cone type only gets you a nicer sounds - no power increases (possible loss)
I think the best bang for the buck for the 3.2 would be a set of headers and sport muffler. Something to do in the near future for me.

My path has been to keep the engine stock, tune the chassis, and improve the driver by attending DEs and have fun

BTW - I'm in the Annapolis area..

cool to see your in MD too, anything about AWE??? i know they are local sorta. id like to see if i could find a local shop maybe to actually go to and get my car tuned a little after i buy some of this stuff.

i also heard that headers wont do anything really. is this true??

Personally I would start w/ wheels, tires suspension and suspension setup

meh my wheels are fine, im working on my suspension but im bored with the cars power. i dont just enjoy the twisting roads i like to have some power to run some straight line sprints too. im young im just looking for some smaller scale costing mods that will give me a little more power, while i slowly replace stuff like my suspension, wheels, brakes.

The next place I would go is some nice close ratio gears for the trans, the car becomes much more fun to drive in the twisties at the expense of freewat cruiseing comfort.

Any meaningful engine work is very expensive
