cheapest way to gain hp/tq
Look, buddy, Robert K will be on here any minute now to tell you the golden rules. He's right, the first rule is 1. There is Always someone faster. Don't get too hung up on horsepower, just enjoy the car, mod for the enjoyment of modding, and don't forget that no matter what you do, a 25,000 dollar bone stock mustang can smoke you on the drag strip.
Rule #1: There is no replacement for displacement. Yes, force induction adds displacement but remember that when you start with a larger displacement engine you're adding more to it.
Rule #2: Cheap, fast, reliable… Pick TWO! You will never have all three. You can build a fast car cheaply and it won't be reliable. You can build a reliable, fast car but it won't be cheap. Or build a cheap car reliable, but it won't be fast.
Rule #3: This one is the hardest for many to accept. There is ALWAYS someone faster. I learned this after dropping thousands and thousands of dollars into my '03 350Z and having a ride along in my buddy's '09 ACR Viper at TWS where he is a driving instructor. Worst part is after realizing this during the ride along we got out and he mentioned he was 8-10 seconds off his normal pace due to heavy traffic.
