I have done the JLT CAI w/ x-caliber2 w/ 93 tune and flowmasters axel back.

What's next for performance? Have not been impressed with a increase in HP with any exhaust improvements, I know there are some, but not worth the $$$ right now.

Thinking about pulleys? or a TB? anyone know of the HP gains, what did you buy and where?

Thanks

Well...theMOST bang for the buck would be nitrous for sure.

I personally am glad I didnt waste the money on the TB, there seems to be some issues with them, and I have yet to see any solid reliable numbers from them. They look good, but I would rather run quicker...

just my $.02 worth

Throttle Body Spacer - bang for the buck if you not going to get a aftermarket throttle body. More torque and more throttle response, as well as an increase in gas mileage!

I second the spacer, the bugs aren't worked out yet on the aftermarket TBs. If you get a TB later you can sell the spacer.

www.autoanything.com

Pullies and an electric water pump is about all you can do with bolt ons, those will give you a slight gain. Maybe headers and x-pipe.

ohh yea, the TBS. That was a good bang for the buck.

But...be sure to call Autoanything first and check stock. They have a habit of charging for back ordered items, I waited 2 weeks for mine. Just a heads up...

It's a real tight fit. The intake and the radiator coolant resevoir rub together. If you launch your car (drag race) and the engine torques the coolant tank pushes off your intake tube.

I fixed it like this:

Oh yeah, ditto on the 4.10s

ok, well if it happens to me, I'll worry about it, but so far, after all these months and drag racing it, still not problems, i made sure all those clamps are down nice and tight, that intakes not going anywhere.....

Gears, Hurst Shifter, O/R X(H) Pipe, Headers


The H( . )( . )TERS Co-Pilot also helps with motivation.
