    You don't have to go aftermarket for nice wheels. I just upgraded from factory SE wheels to GT and made a world of difference. And for only $250 for wheels and tires.

    Turbos and systems are high maintenance and require constant(pretty much) supervision. Plus on an Ecotec, you probably need to redo all the internals. Of course I'm not telling you what to do, but from a practical viewpoint, I wouldn't put that kind of money in that car. Hail, if you want to upgrade HP, do IHE and a pulley and bigger carb and call it a day. Later, QD.

    Quit editing your post, asshole, lolol. Nothing wrong at all with going with what you have. Don't think I'm knocking you at all for your choice. It's all good. See what I'm working with? Lolol. Later, QD.

    Well, its strange though...everywhere i keep on reading that my block can only handle 4psi un-tuned and still be reliable... They also say, that i can run up to 7psi on my stock block and still have it reliable...with a GOOD tune...

    So, im not 100% sure if it'd be worth it or not...4 - 7psi would get me about how much extra power...??

    Who ****ing cares what you think? Who are you to tell the guy he should get something else? You aren't ****, that's who. It's people like him that people like me give props to for working with what you've got or not being a ****ing sheep. Later, QD.

    I know your looking for performance stuff, but you should really stop worrying about doing anything until you have done some research.

    There is a ton of information out there, you just have to find out what works.
