Whoa...
that is way more than I am willing to spend on a tube with a filter on the end.
Use some common sense. You can find a good intake for a whole lot whole lot less than that. Just because it has a AEM Or Injen sticker on it who gives a crap. There isn't going to be that much of a difference in performance from one to the other.

Me personally I plan to order the intake from rdfabs.com today...

should i build my 2200 or swap to 2.4. i just cant see spending thousands of dollars for upgrades on my engine and then adding a turbo later for another 6 grand... its rediculous.

...intake. or front and rear tower brace. actually you could get upper, lower mounjts AND a cheaper intake. id go that route.

take that 300 and sit on it, and then swap a 2.4 or a 2.2 ecotec and 5 speed in

Fark that, built that 2200 you wus!

Buy an intake and 2.3 tb to start out, and you dont need to spend 250 on an intake either. As far as the swap thing...go ahead and spend the money for a 40hp increase if you want to, but id rather have a modded motor than a stock one.

but... yea. build the 2200 and boost it. which... if you know what you are doing, know what to look for, you won't spend anything over 2500 for a good turbo setup capable of 12 psi on stock bottom end

HAHA that ebay stuff is great.

Rocker rollers are a good investment for $300, if you want performance. If you can still buy the motor mounts, those will be nice, but no hoursepower gain, just stiffing things up.




Re: 300 dollars

the mounts just make it easier to put more power down, plus it makes your interior feel like a race car.
