i have a 98 sohc. my fastest time is 16.01 @ 86. What are some cheaps things to do to improve horsepower. All I have is an exhaust. I want to know what else there is to do that is cheap besides a cai.

 

Cheap- Horsepower cost money, if you want it to last. You could throw a shot of NOS, maybe $500 for the kit, but its the best bang for the buck if your just lookin for good times, gets expensive fillin bottles and on repairs if you use it too much. Some good tires, prothane motor mounts, short throw shifter. I can't really think of anything else thats under $100, I'm sure there is. IF you want your car into the 13's or lower its gonna cost money, maybe $2000, for reliable mods, with the good driver mod. Under 14's, you're gonna need a turbo, some major engine work, and a good transmision set-up.

 

Weight redux is free.

Remove the passenger seat, the rear seat, spare tire and trunk carpeting, take the metal from under the dash out. Pull the AC and power steering.

That should give you 1-3 seconds.

 

I hope you mean .1-.3 seconds.

 

Yeah. I did.

 

f all that will give me 1-3 seconds,I'll pull the motor, that will give me like 5-10 more off. I know yeah meant .1-.3, I was just over on some other site and they were talking about WRX STIs only running on 3 out of 4 cylinders in the u.s because of HPO guidelines, and that if you did the $5 spark plug mod your STI would push 400HP instead of 300.

 

Yeah, don't believe that. That's garbage.

 

yeah thats obvious, they were talking about running 5 and 6 sparkplugs on the 4 cyl car. They were jsut stupid, I had a lot of fun with them too, I told them about my 8 second John deere, with !0" fart can and 500 shot of NOS.

 

Motor mounts and some tires that grip (if you can drive, I would imagine you can pick up .3-.5 seconds...and least in my case I should be able to)....I have traction problems. I spin through first gear and my tires don't actually start to hook until I rip back into 2nd. Which is why I can't break 16.0.[:@]

 

I think thats my problem is that i dont get enoguh traction b/c i spin throughj first too. i would prolly break 16 then. what are some good tires to put on a pair of 15's. and should i just put two on the front, or all 4.?
