    Assuming you already have a cold air intake, your next mod should absolutely be a downpipe, preferably a 2.5" example as you have been talking about.

    Next, do NOT go with the 1.9's. They are far from optimal for the L36. They provide a much narrower powerband than the ER rockers that ZZP sells, which use a specific split ratio for the non-supercharged motor. With those rockers you need 90# or 105# springs on the intake side ONLY. Optionally you can choose to use aftermarket pushrods, although they are not required.

    After that the best next modification will be an aftermarket PCM, be it through your own tuning software or from one of the vendors. The increased operating range the downpipe and rockers provide will be worthless without raised shift points. If you use an off-the-shelf PCM I would recommend getting in touch with Will @ Overkill.

    Just with those three mods plus and intake I ran a 14.9 @ 92...not bad for a L36.

    Well with looking around the forum i think ill do..
    -2.5 dp (magflo cat + U-bend delete)
    -PEM
    -Rockers (ER or 1.9rr have no idea)
    -Aftermarket PCM (overkill)
    -HV3

    NOT AT THE SAME TIME

    then a TB but i really dont know much about this mod ill have to do some research or someone can step + isnt primium feul needed?

    My only problem is I DONT want to put primium fuel in my car im losing my mind with these ******* prices and with a PCM its recomended but not neaded from what i understand and wouldnt a tune be more expensive?
