So umm what else?

Help me brainstorm!

I'm running a 2.2 auto.

Besides adding nitrous, what else could I do, within the 500 buck range to add some more power?


Mods are in sig.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Mods I have...

Power:
Intake
Header
Exhaust
Dp w/ highflow cat
Ingalls engine damper
B&M Shiftplus

So far we have:
Cams
Port n Polish

So have I reached the end of the road as far as inexpensive easy mods go?

What should the next step be?

i believe there is a mild cam for the 2.2 that does not require tuning

As for gains i'm not entirely sure

TTR says 10-12 with other bolt on's

Keep in mind those cams don't Require tuning, but if and when tuning does become available you would most likely see more gain from those cams, so it's almost an investment !

Springs aren't just for looks. Springs are part of your overall handling equation, so by upgrading to aftermarket springs, you'll improve your handling, resulting in faster entry and exit speeds of turns. Faster in the twisties might not not be straight line fast, but you'll still be faster non-theless.
