Yeah, that's what I try to help people avoid. $2000 is the point at which you can make 330-340whp if you don't spend money on erroneous items.

since this is the truth sqaud.....

bought my 03 used (23k miles) for 23k

it had:
tbe exhaust, bushur filter, hallman mbc, 255 pump, street tuned by al, tein springs, defi boost gauge.... i paid nothing for these.

since then:
i replaced brakes (stock slotted w/ hawk pads, ss lines) 650
a hks intake and filter 120 (used)
MR bov (110)
and now a clutch will be bought cause i cannot get into boost at all w/o slippage

...grand total so far is around (not including brakes, maint)
about 250 bucks.... not bad for 300whp

sorry if this makes anyone upset
