Default Back to square one...help modding..

Hey I'm Chris, I visit here alot but don't really do alot of posting but anyways if any of you do remember my few posts I had a 2000 Black C5 6 speed. Well I ended up flipping that and totalling it so I went and got another, this time yellow, 6 speed C5 (Bought off of a forum member I might add) So I'm back to square one with modding it, I want to get it into the low 12's or high 11's of course in the cheapest way possible. Any suggestions on where to start?? -Chris

Chris, i'd go with a 100 to 150 shot of nitrous ( cheapest way to get your car where you wanna be ). Or you can go H&C , headers, convertor which will cost you probably 7 times more than the nitrous. Good Luck on whatever you choose.
