Re: i need some help with mods on svx
It's always a good idea to start with a good tune up.
Change your plugs, (NGK Iridiums!!) change your oil, (don't use a fram filter)change your fuel filter, clean your MAF sensor (with MAF sensor cleaner) air filter, check your tires. You could remove the stock air intake in the fenderwell known as the "saxophone." This increases torque but robs a bit of hp. and the sound increase is also nice. If you feel like doing a bit more, buy yourself some 3" silicone connectors and some 3" piping and make yourself a fenderwell cold air intake. In this case, you'll also need to buy a new 3" inlet air filter of which any off brand WILL work, but remember the age old adage "you get what you pay for." Performance-wise you could get an ECUtune 1v7 ecu upgrade. I and many others are happy with theirs. This is on the cheap side of performance mods for our cars (of which there are FEW) and will generally make the car more enjoyable to drive. That should get you started, and I'd say a large portion of cars on this forum are somewhere around this level.

Re: i need some help with mods on svx
Another good thing to do is add a transmission filter and cooler. It will be worth it in the long run.

Re: i need some help with mods on svx
ecutube 1v7f is a nice investment for power, maybe get one of nevins swaybars for handling. you could get bigger injectors but not sure if the stock maping with adjust for it.
something that would help would be weight reduction fiberglass hood might help, you could maybe do nitrous i wouldnt recommend it

Re: i need some help with mods on svx
There's always the option of a 4.44 tranny swap. You'll get some amazing torque out of her if you go that route. Also the ecu tune performance chip as stated above.

Re: i need some help with mods on svx
i think the 4.44 swap falls outside his price range atm :P
