so guys or girls i just bought a 05 mcs, the engine is all bone stock but i want more power, i have about 3 grand into the suspension but i want more power. looking to spend 1000 so somebody hit me up with ideas thanxs

 

CAI, 15%, pulley and cat back exhaust. depending on the exhaust you should easily make it under a grand. talk to the guys in the alta thread and see what they can do for you.

 

+1
Best bang for the buck combo.

C-Lop, Herky....lol, I thought I'd seen that car around.

 

I would say 17% pulley and intake (for sure) and for then the real power do AT LEAST 400cc injectors and the RMW cam with the RMW tune..... that's where the real power is

 

he said with a $1000 budget. also to do injectors cam and tune without exhaust is a waste. Stock exhaust is too restrictive. Balance your mods and you will have a better outcome.

 

Wow I think I've seen your car around also. you ever do any of the STL MINI meets? Looks like I can't brag about fastest Cooper in JeffCo

 

+1 for 17% with the CAI and Cat back. If you aren't planning on running WOT for long periods of time, the 17% will give you more power down low. 15% if you plan on open throttle for long periods of time (aka track time).

For future, you can look at a GRS IC, injectors and a RMW Tune.

 

Start with a pulley package then go from there.

+1 on the balancing of the mod's, I did my head before my exhaust, and while the gain wasthere it really sucked to have spend what I did and only get 50 to 60% of what I could while collecting the funds for the exhaust.

C-Lop, no Stl club events, PM me I'll give you my number.

 

I would recommend the pulley that suits your driving habits, 15%-17% with an intake and GP intercooler. This will be a good building foundation for future mods that will work well with most of the parts available for the engine.
