i think im going to set aside $500-$600 for engine work to my car. i want to know what will be the best, most noticeable engine upgrade. i could go a little over the set aside dough if need be....
i had the bottom end rebuild priced at $1400 and thought i might just wait a few wks for the rest of the money to do that but i cant make up my mind.
HELP please!!!!

(or would you just upgrade on looks??)

new crank rods and pistons ( to get more displacement ) and strong pistons are a set up for a nos a tc or a sc

you alredy got the CAI.

Keep saving. $600 doesn't get you far in the engine rebuild dept. Nor will a straight rebuild net you "noticeable" results.

If you want an SOTP effect, get some gears (I didn't see any in your sig.) Otherwise, keep on saving for your main goal!

Good luck.

thanks a lot quick4.6
i think i have made up my mind to keep saving. this is how i see it, the more $$ saved and put into engine work = the more hp gain.

Set a horsepower goal then save up. If the goal is 400 whp or less, save for a blower. If it is over ~450 whp, then save up for a forged block/built shortblock.

I have 110,000 miles on my 2000 GT and 32,000 of them have been with boost. My car still has the untouched longblock that Ford built.
