a little more power
 
I have a 2.4 2000 Sunfire GT. All it has a K&N air filter, but that will only take it so far. I have looked in to performance chips, I dont want to spend 700$ for 5 or 6 hp. Any ideas, without spending all my savings (which I dont have)

Just a performance muffler will offer some gains, is it a Cold air intake or just a K&N in the stock location? do you run supreme or regular?

doing a DIY exhaust will add some power. also a performance camshaft and cam gears will help.

yea i run premium and Im running synthetic oil, I noticed a big impact the oil makes after I changed over.

Don't forget after 200,000km your playing with fire if your assuming the car is gunna last any length of time. If your anywhere near that milege I would highly recommend finding a new car to modify, as they are well known for blowing up at that milege.

i have a 2000 sunfire gt 2.4, i added a cold air intake and dual aftermarket mufflers, it improved the sound and the performance, is there much of a price difference between non-synthetic and synthetic oil?

synthetic aint that much more expensive, If you do your own oil change, otherwise it can be up to 100$ (canadian) it goes on sale all the time at canadian tire
