So i was reading engine mods for under 1k which got me thinking what could be done for $2500 on a 04 cav I already have a cold air intake and plan on getting a turbo in a couple of years so what could be done to increase hp without throwing money away on stuff when i put a turbo in also including some labor cause i dont know how to do it all
Why dont you just keep saving up for a little while longer and then buy the turbo kit or if you plan on making your own kit, just buy all the necessary parts.

That's what I'm doing. Either do-it-yourself or buy a complete turbo kit
i just want more power for the time being cause i still need to pay for the next 4 years and im worried about weakening my engine before its paid off so i just want more power for now until its closer to being paid off
If you have $2500.00 might I suggest the GM supercharger kit for it. There are guys putting down #'s in the mid to high 200 hp range with just it and exhaust work done.
I know of one dude that is running the comp cams supercharger cams the GM supercharger and a tune from HP tuners and a header with full exhaust and hes hitting over 350 hp at the wheels!
Semper Fi SAINT. May you rest in peace.
If you have 2500 sell it and get somthing that you won't end up throwing your money away on. If youd don't plan on making a race/show car to keep for along time, get somthing that will hold atleast some value.

The New Fun
N/A can make power but the cost is high. there are tuning companies in the UK that cater to the ecotec (referred to there as the z22se) however the best bang for $$ is still a turbo or supercharger, either will give a great kick in the pants and tehy are not all that bad $$wise
keep an eye on E-bay, Jbody.org and here for folks selling their kits some are new some are abused but cheap.
