Default $2,000 to spend on the car's performance.

I've been doing a bit of saving for some time now. My car is my baby and I want to give her the best. I'm wanting to spend money on her to get the best performance for being a tool. Is there any suggestions for how to do this as I want to be able to know the AU Falcon will flog the out of other cars, especially Commodores.

So I just want to know what would give my car the best KW and BHP output for that limited amount of money. I know she's great at accelation, but I'd like to give her guts.

As a side note, what would me putting a larger exhaust onto the car help it benefit? Like, what are the advantages in doing so?

Cheers.

Street racing is not something this forum, and me personally, condones. On that basis, I refuse to assist in any way. Haven't you seen what happens to street racers? They end up in bits all over the front seat.

I dont agree with the street racing mate, but its not me thats going to be doing it, its you.
But if you want to get a little more out of your car, id be putting on a cold air intake, and maybe even a ECU chip?
Sorry about the lack of help mate.. but im really not sure.
Hope this helps in some way shape or form.
Keep it on the safe side though mate
