its not worth removing anything from your car to make it faster. you wont notice a difference anyway. if you cannot afford to make it faster, wait until you can and not ruin the car.

With just intake, header, and exhaust, your car still won't be as fast; unless, you're turbo or swap.

If you build the B2 up, you can boost that b!tch up even more. They're awesome with boost and its already got the IRON sleeve. A swap is nice but you'll need to sleeve the block to fit aftermarket pistons; unless, you run the Mahle Gold Series pistons.

I have MSN. I don't have AIM anymore.

What I meant is that the stock sleeve in the H22 can't be used with aftermarket pistons; therefore, you will need a shop to sleeve the block in order to take them. So thats some info for you if you're going H swap. You have a choice though, Mahle whose a brand makes some pistons that can be used in the H22 without sleeving the block too.

I'll PM you.

You can but if that day comes and you want to put in some pistons for whatever reason then the H22 needs to be sleeve; otherwise, Mahle gold series pistons will do.

Speaking with some type of grammar/spelling will certainly help you. I cannot believe you actually think other people can understand what you're "writing" - and I use "writing" loosely.

Without spending money you will not be able to do much other than remove parts off the car and try to lose weight. But that is not going to give you any more "umph" that is noticeable.

You have to pay to play.

Judging by your statement, I think you should spend some time researching about engines and how they work, parts, perfomance theories, etc. No offense is intended man, but theres a wealth of knowledge on the internet here and youd be amazed at how much stuff there is to learn about making an engine perform more efficiently and making more power. Once again no offense im not calling you dumb or anything man just trying to help

Dropping it out the back of a C-17 should just about do it.......

Seriously tho, If you're on the "Obama recession build on a budget program"; the only way you can go faster is to shed weight, increase tire pressures, install a free-flow air cleaner element (you don't need to go the CAI route just yet) and avoid filling the car with overweight homies.

It's all about power to weight. The lighter it is, the less horsepower is required to get the same effect.

tak out da rear sits n spare tire yo, dun tak ur mother, sista, brothur, frens in da car coz an xtra few pounds gonna hurt. dun put wingz cuz its all rice.

Seriously, that type of language has to stop as it makes majority hard to read. You want to save money?? don't 'modify' for performance therfore making it 'fast' is out of the question. As said:

Take out rear seats
Remove spare tyre
Increase your tyre pressure
Clean your air filter
Change oil and spark plugs when they due.
Drive economically

No offence dude, maybe cutting down on dope save few $$$

I think this can be summed up in one simple saying

"YOU HAVE TO PAY TO PLAY"

Keep your 300 lb. Mother-in-law out of it, or gut it. Anything with great weight will slow it down. That should give you better accleration. Not sure about top end, though, if that will be a gear ratio issue.
