I'm getting $500 as my tax return, and I want to spend it all on stuff to make my car faster. My engine is all stock. What should I buy? I want to get the most mods for my money. I have been told to get an intake, but is there much of a difference between a regualr intake and a cold air intake? I know i'll probably get one of those but what else should i get? please name the brand and part.

thanks.

If you are mechanically inclined adwill do all the installatoin yourself...

Cold Air Inake - $200 (love my Injen)
Underdrive Pulley - $160 (Howell Automotive AFX)
Used Throttle Body - $50 (wherever you can get one)
Bore TB to 55mm - $100 (send to Howell Automotive)

And after this get your exhaust fowing better ($50-$75 for a GS-T muffler or get a 2.5" cat-back)

Thanks for all the replies.
If I went ahead and bought the aem cold air intake, would I still have the use for it if I one day get a turbo?

I think I remember reading somewhere that once you get a turbo, the intake is useless. Is that true?
