Affordable Setup

Hey guys, I have been hunting around trying to find a decent affordable setup to get my 2000 coupe into at least high 11's, and I have been out of the N/A v8 scene for quite awhile. Not really looking to get crazy just yet, just some simple mods cam/head work. Just sold my low 11sec rx7, and I need just a little more power out of this car fast and cheap. I have bigger plans down the road, once I get more familiar with this stuff you guy call torque. Any ideas on combo's would be great. Thanks, Keith

Was that equipment used or did you get the deal of a lifetime?

My vote goes to gears, tires, intake and then maybe a cam or some spray.

Here either but usually fast + cheap = NOS. I could have done spray but even my chic says thats cheating so I went with boost

A whopping 4 lbs but still netting me 478/424
