Thread: Need help spending some money (This should be easy)

That more for when your going smaller then a 3.0 pulley an outlet temps on the blower are a serious concern because your pushing the stock M90 so far past its original efficiency range. An the TB is more or less just to match the blower inlet. With the larger ones you can feel a difference in throttle response but your not getting any faster till your car needs more air then the stocker can supply.

If I were you I would do the Rockers (modified stock 1.9) an the 3.4 next an then spend some time tuning it in, probably have to add a little fuel to quench any little blips of knock. You should also be in the 13's with an equal launch, if you managed a 14.4 with what you have now.

By then the mod bug will have bitten an you will rethink your entire plans an goals for the car. But until then enjoy your goal.

Well i think sometimes it is the little things that count...(porting ect) can make a difference...it defenitly wont hurt...I know as far as the money...i would get more bang for my buck with something else and i think that is the point you were trying to make...but i do appreciate your input and help....i think the mod bug has bitten me again lol...just want to have everything ready (porting wise) for when i go splurging.

Anybody have any input on the intercoolers or nos????
