could you be a bit more specific as to the " i know it has an exhaust, and an intake" quote? stock, modified, or what? technically, unless it has a TON of miles, you COULD run a nitrous setup, if you could set it up in wither a direct port or fogged into the intake configuration..but in order to help ya more, i need more info....

Also, get rid of anything in the car you dont need (passengers, subwoofer boxes, tool kits) I find that weight has quite a substatial impact on pick-up. Also, i dont know if anyone would agree with me, but I like to have 1/2 tank or less of gas when I need pickup, just because gas = weight. Just be careful, the octane boost could damage your engine...

ahhh octane boosters....yet ANOTHER thing to fill everyone in on....octane boosters tend to lead a person to believe that if youre running 93 octane..and add a bottle of 110 octane boost..that it will raise your octane rating 5-7 points...which is TRUE...however..its not 5-7 FULL points, but 5-7 TENTHS....so in reality..youre not going from 93-98 octane..youre going from 93 to 93.5 octane rating....granted, this will increase somewhat with more than one bottle, but ya get the general idea
..oh..and primer death... kissin ass IS a good thing LMAO

you wont want to run 110 in your car..it will mess with and possibly burn out the oxygen sensor.....if you can get it for $3 a gallon, youre doing great...its $175 for a 50 gal. drum thru work..plus a $30 drum deposit..otherwise..going price is about $4 a gallon here....and i know this ALL too well, as thats all that i can run in the cutlass...which has come down to more like " gallons to the mile"...lol

So for the intake make sure the intake pipe is not larger than a 3" OD.
You do not need a filter bigger than a 5-6" K&N filter.
Exhaust should be kept at the same diameter or only slightly larger. Increase flow at the muffler and add a high flow cat.
For the biggest gain after the exhaust and the intake pipe add a set of ceramic coated exhaust manifolds.
Then add a throttle body spacer made from phenolic.
How much does all this cost?
