cheap but big

[2C0UGAR00]

Just now starting to think about doing stuff to engine.

I want to know whats out there that will increase my horse power but also be cheap on my wallet for the time being. Anything anyone can help me with would be nice right now the money is kind of short seeing as the tranny is getting fixed and job is not in order yet.

but like i said anything that would help is welcome i will be glad to read on something that will increase this Zetec's horse power.

Look in the forums. Under Zetec 2.0 performance. Threads like this aren't necessary, answers are already there.

HP costs money. plain and simple. if it's cheap, it's probably garbage. you could start out with the basic intake and exhaust. but neither are particularly cheap. if your tranny is jacked, I say fix that first, then save. just know that unless you go F/I, the car will still be pretty slow. once you get past intake and exhaust, it only gets more expensive.

I see you are in GA as well. so am I. what part are you from?

turbonator. And electric supercharger. FO SHO!

check the zetec dyno mods comparison sticky, there you can see a lot of mods and the price per hp. If I remember correctly, stage 3 cams were the best and intake and thottle body were the worst($/hp wise)
also remember that a good diet can be just as helpful as adding mods! every pound out of the suspension/driveline will help some

You are not right man.

When you say "thinking" of doing some engine stuff, what exactly do you want? I mean how far do you wanna take this?

Just like the swamy says, HP costs money and to do it right unless you know what your doing will cost some money.

Figure out what you want then research and ask questions.

alright regarding the whole look it up and then ask heres what i have to say.

Im suppose to get about $5,000 dollars out of the case we are trying to settle. so i guess the actual question is what should be done to this cougar in the engine with whats left after the body kit and the truebenz exhaust.

so in other words i believe with about
475-exhaust
625-body kit
so about $4,000 left what would ya'll do first???/

I would turbocharge it- first. You'll have power and be pretty unique. Go from there.
