Thread: Top Swapping I have questions.

i hit 13* of knock on a 3.6 and 14* of wot timing

my setup- headers/1.9/N*

stick with the stock pulley and start with stock gtp bin and go from there. Definitly get a wideband and a tuner or you will be wasting alot of your time trying to tune your car n/b and still not get anywhere. I recommend a dhp

Sorry to threadjack, but any idea roughly how much a top swap would cost?

really depends on where u get parts from... id say 600-1000 to be done right.

Well most people sell the parts from 250-500 then you need the gaskets which run around 200. Then if you want to port the TB, SC, or LIM your looking at anywhere from 100-200 more. Then you need oil and what not so like 40+ more then if you dont have a boost gauge you should get one of those and a place to mount it.. It all adds up.. Most people recommend headers so thats 220 more

And if you need ANY more gaskets and want them GM, hit me up, I work at a dealer, remember?
I'm almost home, staying in STL for the evening, and then I'll be back on Monday if you wanna meet up.

Wait a second. Can you get those gaskets less then 200? Like do you receive a discount? I'd imagine so. Oh and yes monday ill be bring my stuff down.. I want you too look at my Blower I have some questions on its condition.
