I don't have much cash flow right now, but I am addicted to making my car better. Do you have any ideas that would help make it better, but are fairly cheap in cost?

you could make your own cold air intake. fender well or box styles. High flow cat and a shift kit

Steve, are you referring to the gutted high flow cat cheap mod? lol.

ya sure if he wants an engine light that won't go away

Here'* a guide that will give you a place to start. https://www.gmforum.com/performance-brainstorming-tuning-96/what-order-should-i-mod-my-engine-278662/ Basic mods are not to pricey, and will give you a bit of kick. After that it'* a bit more money and work.

Well how cheap are we talking, assuming you already have good plugs and wires a MPS (Modular Pulley System) would be around a hundred bucks, and it the best vaule performance wise. If you could find a member that has a puller you could save the money of renting one.

Other than that a DIY intake would be next, or a off the shelf reprogrammed PCM.

Yep, that covers about all the easy mods. The PCM swap is nice but you will need to have a CASE learn done, for that you will need a member with tuning software or a dealership that knows how to do it without reflashing the PCM back to stock.

I have done a PCM swap and a crank sensor and never did a case learn. . . . . .

I suggest you do one when you get HPtuner. Your engine will thank you.

What will I notice? I can do it with the Aeroforce.

Sorry to kinda thread jack. . . .
