Any performance suggestions?
obviously im looking to add HP and torque to my car, but im only gona have this car til August and I dont want to turbo or supercharge it, but i have 150 dollars that i want to put into my car... heres what ive already done
catback exhaust
header
intake
underdrive pulley
new spark plugs
I was going to get a high flow cat but someone told me its not worth it? anyone have any ideas on what i should spend the 150 on?

Hmmmm that's a tough one with such limited money. Maybe you could find like a use throttle body, get a nice grounding kit or plug wires. Personally, I'd get a cheap sway bar to tighten up the suspension.

get a short shifter and some stut bars, definately good worthwhile mods for cheap that change the feel of the drive.

According to one companies description,
I'm not sure if any of this is true, but I'll let you know if i feel any difference when I get mine installed. I ordered a kit on saturday because my grounds are all rusty and not working properly (I got electrocuted when I touched the distributor with the car on).
The new "Hyper Ground System" is the safe and reliable generation tuning system that provides a low resistance ground path. A better ground gives More Torque, Better Mileage, Better Response, and Better Starting Ability. This system provides direct ground path from battery negative to body, chassis, and engine components to give extreme improvement on electrical circulation. In addition "Hyper Ground System" cables have 10 times less impedance than factory ground systems which provides immaculate conduction to prevent electrical power loss. The higher resistance of factory grounds, effect the ignition system and obstructs the primary potential. The "Hyper Ground System" uses thick gauge 99.99% pure copper, and connects directly from the cylinder head and other points under the hood to the battery, to provide and ultra low resistance connection. This will increase the primary potential of regular cars to ignition tuned vehicles.

Rule #1. Never trust adds you see on ebay
I could possibly see a grounding system prevent a loss of power, but there is no way it could increase power. My reasoning for this is that with less electrical resistance, one might get more power to their ignition system, resulting in a more powerful spark, which would in turn burn more of the air fuel mixture. The only way to increase engine power is to increase the amount of air and fuel into the engine, or to increase the explosive power of the current amount of air and fuel already getting into the engine (higher compression).
