im not looking for big hp numbers, just a little here and there that might add a few hp or just make my car run a little better; nothing huge. so what about those ground straps/wires that i linked up above a few posts?

 

The second link is what I was talkin' about. There are a few companies who make a kit that replaces every ground strap on your car. I'd probably get that second one. If you get one that is a name brand, they run upwards of $100.

 

plugs/wires/ground straps/other scams -&gt; not going to make any power. You can get the same effect as the grounding kit by just cleaning your current grounding points.

already got enough; but i might save up for some other fuel management goodies. the jrsc im getting is being rebuilt as we speak and its coming with a jr map controller and a vortech sfmu all for $1700. how about cross drilled and slotted brembo rotors? reduce heat/warping and would last longer than the oem rotors, correct? if cf hoods werent so damn expensive i would ****** one up. i can always wait for christmas... just dont want a damn coffee machine or toaster; save them for a wedding .

Those will actually make both cases worse.

Slotted and drilled rotors are based on old brake pad technology, where the brakes would give off a gas when heated to extreme measures. The slots and holes would help vent off the hot gas.

Pads no longer gas, so drills and slots are no longer needed. All drills and slots do is reduce the amount of mass that the rotor can absorb for heat and reduces the structural integrity of the rotors.

If you want to upgrade your braking system for the street, pick up some Axxis Ultimates or Cobalt GT brake pads, some DOT4 fluid, and a set of stainless steel lines.

Hes right, they just dont make the power that turbos do.

i now that, but i want low end "UMPH" that only a jrsc can provide. i know that the small greddy kit has little turbo lag, but its still there. the reason i smacked him around is because i was asking for cheap and easy ways to make my car run better, but he decided to throw out a turbo which is a $2000 complicated mod. i do that to all the people who think theyre smart and go WAAAY off topic.
