  • A buddy wants advice. Advice needed!

    My friend has a 2002 RS with the 3800 V6, automatic. He has a CAI and a ZZP chip. He is looking to get some power gains. What mods would you recommend, he is not looking to spend a lot of money. The most bang for the buck. Any Advice???

    Thanks,
    Justin

              youd be damn lucky to get that done for $200

              Aluminum driveshaft is a possibilty though.

                Waste of time IMHO...and money at this stage of the car...

                Tell him to save up for the cam and rockers...

                  Thanks for the help, I will let him know. It's funny, I had a 97 RS and he fell in love with it and bought his own. Then I found my Z28, after riding in my car he was pissed that he didn't buy a V8. LOL I told him to go for the V8 before he bought his RS, but he didn't listen.

                    yeah not much you can do with a limited budget.

                    1st thing that came to my mind was a rear end gear.
                    But I know that's not going to be the cheapest.

                      Maybe his budget will increase when he gets his taxes back, hopefully! LOL
                      Any advice on rear end gears for my 97 Z28 (6 speed) I would like to be able to tack it to the track and have fun, but also drive to the beach.

                            4.10 in a 6 speed, but for 200 your friend cant do crap. maybe get a resistor mod from ebay? (im just kidding dont do this) but you can get a set of rockers used for 200, but its a matter of installing them correctly.
