Is this a late april fools joke? Along the lines of 80elcamino, make sure the engine can breath as best you can. I dont know if you need you A/C in NJ but take the belt off will help a tiny tiny bit. Same thing with the power steering. cheap mods = little HP gain.....i know i know, lifes not fair _________________ 81 El camino (BIG project) 90 Celica Alltrac (project) 01 Silverado Back to top 86camino Silver Contributor Necoa #: 2166 Location: laplace, la Joined: Jan 12, 2004 Posts: 284 Posted: Mon Apr 12, 2004 10:01 pm    Post subject: well whats your budget?
