    You'll be ok with the plog, pm, and dp. Start off on a stock pulley and see where you're at before throwing a different pulley on. P&P the heads while you have them off.

    Ya stock pulley for sure. overkill is confident he could incar tune on stock manifoolds but if I can get the plog,pm and dp It would be that much more beneficial.
    im not any good for porting heads, or anything mechanical lmao(having my cousin install, licensed mechanic) so they will be staying stock.

    I would definitely have someone check out the heads. My brother is currently having one head fixed because of cracks that I believe caused issues with the head gasket blowing. Also be sure the tune is right. We also had issues with the car running for a long drives until I contacted ZZP which helped me fix the tune.

    tune will be a in-car tune, one from overkill so tune will be dialled in the best it can.

    Yes I was completely serious about my replies of plog, pm and downpipe with meth.

    It would be a lethal setup. Lots of torque. With some good tires, you could pull some awesome 60' times and really get some nice et's.

    You could do some rockers on it as well to help flow and to reduce kr.

    Moar: my brother is trying to get me to go meth.. But I don't like the idea having to always have windshield washer fluid handy, if I run out and I'm tuned for it I would be in big trouble..
    Ejouie: no for sale thread yet as I'm not sure when the topswaps will be installed( month maybe 2 tops), but if your interested shoot me a pm and you can be first in line

    Trust me, it will take you a long time to go through a meth reservoir. Realize it only sprays when you hit a certain amount of boost.

    Just check it every week and see where it is.

    if you run out of meth then just don't floor it. stay outta boost. The meth controller reads off map sensor

    headers can be had for so cheap these days used

    i ran a top swap with 1.9 rockers plog, downpipe combo and had and couldn't run 0kr without pulling timing, i ran it with 13* wot timing, it was turd

    They are used so they must fit. Leaks can be fixed.. Don't most headers have issues nowadays?

    used might mean they kept leaking and the seller bought something else. My speed daddy headers have 0 issues even with the included gaskets. the crossover sealed nice and tight, the flex is fine. the PS headers had improperly sized tubes that didn't fit tight.

    pacesetters aren't terrible. i ran them for almost 3 years when i sold my car with them on it. just use alot of rtv on the slip fits (or get them welded) and you'll have to buy your own hardware
