These are my current mods: She pulls pretty good now, but I wouldn't mind a little more...

Pacesetter header, 2.5" Custom Catback w/Borla dual 2.5" muffler, K&N air filter, hacked airbox w/custom ram air, B&M afpr, 1g Turbo intake cam

What would be a good mod to do for power that is not to expensive? Any advice is welcome

Try putting a diffrent throtal body (sorry cant spell) that should give you better responce and um diffrent cam gears should help a bit too
 
Header is ported and smoothed/not polished. I'm thinking of things that I don't have to work really hard to do, like the removal of the intake manifold is time-consuming. I have done it before and don't want to do it anytime soon. If I have to fix the head, I will p & p it and the manny, but until then, the best I have planned is to open up the tb, which is the largest stock tb available to 4g63's.

UDP sounds good, how good is the gain? I have been not so impressed with all other mods except the cam.

I know this goes against what I was saying, but I hear advancing the intake cam 1 tooth does a good bit for gain. Is that true?
 
the 1g n'ts(what you have) have the biggest throttle body! its a little bit bigger than the turbo one....kinda crazy.....
have you considered nos? its bolt on, and gives you a nice gain when you need it and is safe WHEN DONE RIGHT!!
other options would be higher compression, lighter valvetrain, taking out the balance shafts, etc....
there are many mixed feelings about udp's, since most of them dont have harmonic balancers and supposedely this leads to premature belt failure......how true this i don't know.
or you could do what i'm doing and go turbo!
 
wait a minute.....get an upper intercooler pipe and use that as your intake. Why dont any 1gnt's do this. It would work just as good...maybe better then a CAI, because if im not mistaken it will mount the filter right in the front bumper. I say do that
 
That's long term actually, yeah, I'm looking for a quick power adder that doesn't take weeks to save for.
 
i say got with the balance shaft removal it's cheap and not that hard just takes half the day but a good power adder i did that with mine as soon as i got it. and port your throtal body and intake mani. dont seem like much but it helps speceally with the turbo cam... you can also get a turbo mas turbo injectors and turbo ecu..ppl think it doesnt give much if any power but it does beleive me...
 
geta a spare head and mani, port them, then install them. Less downtime. can also mill to increase compression.
