What are you driving and what is your budget, if its a throttle body OR a strut bar it does not seem very high. Also widening out your wheels alone isnt going to do much for handling, spend that money on a good performance alignment.

As far as engine performance goes with a pretty much stock engine(which yours is from what I gather) bigger throttle bodies are a waste in most applications. Unless you go to a forced induction setup(i.e. turbo or supercharger) or make internal mods to your engine that require more air intake, most likely the stock throttle body is not a restriction at this point.

Man for 250 bucks your not going to go much faster. You said you had an alignment, but is it a PERFORMANCE alignment? If it does not contain copious amounts of negative camber, then its not :P
Conti DWS are decent and good street tires for all weather, and could do double duty as auto X. You want to get faster around the track for 250 bucks? Man thats tough. There are alot of small improvements that could be made with that money, my advice is still that good alignment and some decent pads and rotors. With that tiny budget IMO thats the best you can do, when you can brake later, and enter corners at a higher speed (made possible by the negative camber you will be running, allowing more contact patch of the tire to stay in contact with the road surface) If you have a couple bucks left over go for an X brace over a strut brace, as you dont have to spend alot, and are able to control the body roll MUCH better with an x brace. |
