Bang for the buck!!!!

I have a 200 coupe wit B&M shifter,Callaway honker and Billy Bote PRT mufflers. I need to know what would be the next best bolt on performance mod for the buck. Should I go with 90mm fast and 90mm throttle body?

Long tube headers and a tune. Fast intake would be a waste on your car. The stock manifold flows plenty on a stock engine.

headers are next on the progressively higher scale of more/faster! Used headers are fairly common too~!

Bang for the buck? How many bucks you have? Any DIY stuff greatly reduces the cost (and pride) of any mod.

Good luck!

This will put you in the low to mid 400s at the wheels. $3000

Good head/cam package - $2300

Ebay stainless steel header package (full length headers & x pipe) - $400

LS6 intake - $300 (if the "200" is supposed to be 2000 and not 200x. '01 and up already have the LS6 intake)

I have the ebay headers. I have less than $400 in mine and no leaks, no butchering, no custom fab (unless replacing the cats with an "off road" pipe is custom)and they look awesome. They are as good of quality as the high dollar ones. They were no trouble to install, driver side in from the top, passenger in from the bottom. I dynoed 340 hp (about the same as a stock Z06) at the wheels with just full exhaust, Blackwing and a tune.

Just because they are inexpensive doesn't mean they are cheap.
