welcome! in all honesty... you're not going to gain much "power" with bolt ons. You're better off improving the handling and saving up for boost or a swap.

I've been reading a lot into the swap and I was thinking about it but finding the parts seems to be a pain!

There is no need for GTE internals until you boost it. Even then, the limits of GE internals will get you pretty far. The exact amount of power they can handle obviously depends on your tune, how you drive the car and other factors.

I understand. Sometimes its nice to hear all the people talk about what they think and most of the time they can hook you up with parts or people. Good luck and enjoy the ride.

James what part of Monmouth county do you live in. I live in Neptune. Check out the NELOC section here on the forums for all local meets and upcoming meets. If you have any questions feel free to pm me.

Yeah it all is relative to your power goals. Building your GE isn't hard and a much easier choice and can handle a ton of power.It's what I've done with great results thus far.I did wheels and coilovers first and then it wasn't long after that I started putting together my turbo kit cause I was tired of my car being slow.It's all relative to what you want though so keep that in mind
