I want to upgrade my engine. I know a supercharger but thats alot. Where is a cheaper way to start? I want it to be loud. A kid at my school has a 1975 camaro and keeps callin scion a pussy car, i want to take down his theory.

If you don't want to go with the supercharger or a turbo, go with the normal "boost" options: I/H/E - Intake, Header, Exhaust.
They'll make the car a lot louder, with some power gains as well.... mainly from the header.

Hey man as far as the install i can help with that.
for power gains, you can do all the bolt ons, intake, header, exhaust, s-pipe, pulley, if you still want more, then just get a supercharger, turbo, or put the car on spray(nos)..
a tC vs a camaro, sorry man it dont stand a chance(in a straight line at least), i think this becuase im thinking the camaro is restored and it has a nice small block under the hood.
Whenever you are ready to look for the parts(cash in hand) let me know and ill help you find them.

yeah turbo or supercharger will be the best bet. you can always stay n/a and get the zpi stage 2 head with high compression pistons but that'll cost as much as a turbo

well ... let me tell you somethin about that "pussy car"
I can promise you ... if you run your car head on into a wall at about 70mph, and he runs his car head on ito a wall at 70mph ... you will come away in MUCH better shape than him, with a pretty good chance you'll be walking away and he'll be taken away to be burried. This I know
:up:
going back to my days of speeding and going fast ... his car could be old and slow, or it could be pretty good. Either way, if he can't drive it, you wouldn't need much. Though if you're looking to boost at some point, you might want to look at parts that will work with f/i setups, or you'll be buying parts twice.
