Best way to spend 1100

ok so long story short i just ran accross 1100 dolors ( waranty ... hard to explane situation) but i have 1100 dolors and i am lookin to get best power upgrade for my car what route should i go?? i am an ion redline and i was definatly thinking of a tvs but everyone selling theres for like 1600+ dolors and i dont have that much extra money to put into it but if anyone has any ideas hit me up thanks alot Nick

Ps: if ur selling anything like a turbo kit, twincharge kit, tvs, twinscrew, any alternet supercharger kit pm me and we can talk buisness


would love to stay supercharged but if i am forced to go turbo i would also like that lol ( rilly i know turbo = more power but supercharger is what i bought the car for ... supercharger on 4 banger= hard to find in a car lol)

Thanks alot everyone

I have a h/e , 2.8 , devils own progesstive meth, 60's ( all waiting in my room... untill i got this 1100 dolors i was going to do it on a stock s/c now my plans are starting to change lol.)

Maybe sell the M62 in the classifieds and see if you can buy a used TVS with that money+the 1100?

thats no fun at all

OTT stage 1, cooling, and mounts? What are your future plans for the car? I always think into the future, like the next thing I am doing is getting ready to support a TVS down the road

LOL @ your avatar

he has a 2.8 and 60s.
sell the 2.8 and m62 and get a TVS. 2.8" pullied cars arent all that. our stock blowers are weak sauce. too much heat and not enough cfm

why would you put valve springs on stock cams when they dont make power that high? and before you say area47 has them, he put them on because he used to be cammed.

you should make enough off the m62 setup to upgrade to a harrop tvs. take it off, yeah you will run a stock redline for awhile but your car will still be s/cd
