Add Power to 850 GLT?

1. Your N/A, your not going to gain much power if any from any mods without a lot of money.
2. Sell your N/A and buy a turbo model. You'll be much happier, trust me.
3. If you have to keep this car and your hell bent on modding it...
- Inmotion I do believe makes N/A ECU upgrades. You wont see much increase from this and the power to price ratio isn't worth it.
- A custom intake and exhuast system is not going to net you much either.
- Stick to suspension and exterior mods, honestly.
4. You could add a turbo, but it isn't that easy...
*Turbo
*Intercooler
*Intercooler hard pipes
*Turbo hoses
*Vacuum lines
*Oil or water lines for turbo
*Boost gauge
*Downpipe and catback system
*ECU tuning (Custom dyno tuning to get best tune)
*Etc...
Your looking at $3k+ to do this right.
Just sell it and buy a turbo model.

Or find an 850 turbo that has been in a wreck at your local junk yard to soften that $3k figure... that is if you are hell bent on doing it your self. At my local pullaparts there are a couple, but I have neither the time or money to do this yet.

But the tuning is the most important part and like I said the only way to do it proper is with dyno tuning which isn't cheap. So it is still going to be a $3k+ job no matter what.
