    So, need mod ideas!

    So, say you got a grand to spend, max, what would you get?

    Currently I have a Mopar CAI, SP Phenolic Spacers and Flowmaster Mufflers with no reso's. The max I'm spending is a thousand dollars, and I want to get as much power out of it as I can. No nitrous though. Here is my thought.

    180 T-Stat
    Diablo Predator
    CMR Tune.


    Any better ideas? Thaks peoples! =)

    Well, I am looking for some engine mod ideas, and you're coming in here and trying to sell me your wheels, when you can clearly see in my sig that I already have nice 22's? Thanks for your help.

    I was trying to be funny, sorry.

    Have a nice night sweetie.

    People are too touchy around here...good luck modding the engine though.

    Cam and a tune is my vote - and I used more words to voice it, over on CF.

    Since your here in cali, like me, I'm a little sceptically on cam choices that might negatively effect our smog test but if your just doing a cam (no heads) I'd pick a HHP stage 1, PPP road warrior or a fri's patriots. All I believe are mild cams and would suite you well with stock heads.

    ok um... hate to rain on the parade.. but you say a grand?
    and your thinking about "diablo+cmr+tstat"?
    well... you need a diablo... and a cmr... to run a cam... so you can subtract 15 bucks off your original idea with that tstat, and put that toward your cam..(and install?)
    ok all kidding aside...

    cam-400
    predator-375
    cmr tune-350-500
    cam install-750-1200

    i thought i was going to try to do a cam install for under 2 grand.... yea that didnt happen..
    next thing i knew i was doing an underdrive pulley and shaving my heads and a valve job "since they were gonna be off anyway".

    if you can discipline yourself well.... youre lookin at a 2 grand bill for the cam and install and tune, considering oyu dont have a predator yet as well

    now do it, i LOVE being cammed

    If you pay full retail for all parts and labor, then no - $1000 won't get you there.

    But there are many ways around full retail.
