this is the second thread from the most rated thread iv posted a few months back. having all the guidelines of a stock car tune up(mod). here is some tune up's iv made over time;

now i seek for futher modifications to be done :]
of course i would like to thank our zth member cartoon for helping me out mostly :]
hope to get some replies and especially from cartoon :]
thanks!
ok here goes mine, im nt sure if i have posted for u b4
first question is what are you looking for , the horsepower increase you want
do u want performance ? looks ? handling ?
do remember , building a car aint cheap
for handling i will recommend u adjustables , specially Titans
UR bars are handy , the main front are the most important
ur bushings are still new like virgins , please just use them for this while , PU bushes ain cheap , they might even reach 1k
bout performance , since u said Huakeny's mods are just typical
here u go , this is the key question , how long u intend to keep ur car
and how much is ur budget , typical mods arent so expensive , the real deals are high in price , r u sticking to N/A or u intend for a turbo ?
a turbo bolt on will cost around 3-4k ,
a nice small turbocharger , a blow off , a exhaust turbular header , pipings and lastly a intercooler , this will of cos increase ur hp n torque , but do remember there are also supporting mods such as fueling , injectors n tuning involved.
im nt sure how strong the savvy block is , u might even need new pistons n metal gaskets so it can hold boost. this an give u 10 to even 40% more power depending on how extreme u get
a n/a moddification , which is also applicable for turbo bolted on cars ,
port and polish , where u remove ur engine head , port them to have bigger flow , as for race camshafts , u can try ask R3 for their performance shaft or u go get reprofiled from speedzone or matspeed. race cams will give ur head a better flow and increase hp n as well as torque
as for ur exhaust, if u r modding the engine , do have a slightly bigger piping so that ur engine can breathe easily.
do think whts value for money, i dnt want u to go modding for 20-30k , then
one fine day a kancil turbokitted eats u for lunch.
