Default cheap hp gain?

whats are some cheap mods for performance
that i can actually feel?

i've been looking at the ingen intake,

i like it a lot but will i get a good amount more power
with the ingen intake?

please feel free to list any mods that are pretty good
on the wallet.

Sorry, SC3's are slow unless heavily modded or boosted. Obviously most opt for the latter. 5 speed swap is probably the cheapest one that makes it feel faster - at least you can properly launch and control your shift points.

"cheap hp" and "SC" in the same sentence is a pipe dream

Only way to make it fast is forced induction.

what i have done being a broke college student is BFI, i cut the exhaust after the cat(sounds great), advanced ignition timing, and some light weight reduction. i hear dry ice in the air box is another cheap couple hp. ive been thinking of putting a nitrous setup but i feel its too rice/F&F

strip the interior to save weight, buy some fake carbon fiber stuff it reduces weight and gives you more horsepowersss

get a tank of nos, the big one, actually get two.

you want cheap HP gains, buy a Honda...your driving a 2JZ powered car that has class shared by very few cars and a weight problem. You want noticeable HP gains, apologize to your wife/credit/bank/neighbors. Your playing with the big boys now, and you gotta pay to play.
