$800. What should I do?
I dont want to make a new topic so I'll just modify this one.
I got $800 right now
Im looking at headers or 1.9 rockers.
Besides NOS whats the best thing I can do for around 800?
My heart is almost set at going for the 1.9'* with the proper springs and pushrods of course. Also a PCM since my car will be able to shift higher with rockers.
Like I said All I have right now is an exhaust,inttake and 180 t-stat
How much would my 0-60 decrease with headers?
How bought with Rocker arms and PCM?
Do shift kits improve your time?
I would love to do a Cam but accordint to intense you need a higher stall torque converter.
Thanks for all the help. Cant wait for my next mod

You don't need headers yet and to be honest in an N/A car you probably wont like them without more power or a higher stall converter. You will feel like you lose power on the low end although you will make it up top.

You dont need the pushrods, but they are recommended. Roller rockers do not need as much lubrication and the OR rods keep oil down in the bottom end and lifters to help avoid valvefloat and keep more oil where its needed most. I strongly recommend at least LS6 valvesprings if you get 1.9s.
Get a GT1 cam from ZZP
You don't need a highstall to see big gains with that cam.
There are plenty of people out there that will tell ya the same thing.
Don't play around with rockers, skip that and go to a cam.
I'm saying that because of your expressed intrest to go fast in your previous posts.
And if your going to go boosted, then just keep saving your money.

A cam will always work better with a supercharger right?

A half a second better? Is that exagerrated or for real? Thats an awesome gain.
