Best Performance for $1,500
I have 1,500 budget and would like to know some mods I could put on my car that will be worth it. It is a 1999 FRC with 49,000k and it has borla catback and a halltech intake.

What kind of mileage would I be getting with the 4.10s because an FRC has 3.42 stock. My first idea was long tube headers and x pipe would be the best mod, and yes all the labor would be done by me.

if you can do your own work, and search the sale section:
long tube headers- i think tx speed has them less than $750
used cam- i bought mine for $200
gaskets, etc - fred beans or gm direct
dyno tune - depends on the shop
