Your best bet is going to be a full size intercooler.

Yeah intercooler and cam/rockers are about the best mods you can do before you get into head work.

I did drop 4 seconds off my 0-100. Everything else was stock.

I dropped a solid 10 plus seconds when I put a 3" downpipe in.

I'm being serious though. I do believe my cat was clogged though.

LOL. I love all the misinformation that gets spread around here.

OMG...I ran 4 seconds faster once because I installed headers! IT MUST BE NORMAL!

I never once said it was normal.

You tried to pass it off like it was though.

I didn't do any such thing I just stated that when I installed headers it knocked 4 seconds off my 0-100 times. I can see how that could be misconstrued though.

Then why did you bring it up? Your headers had nothing to do with you dropping 4 seconds. Your post did nothing but help hijack this thread.

Stock Manifolds > Headers?

I brought it up to give my input on the subject. My headers had everything to do with dropping the time off my 0-100 although a dp would have maybe got me the close to the same results. My comment didn't derail the thread nearly as much as you did.

This guy knows all...... I mean car guys have been doing it so wrong for all these years...


Can a car run a 3.4 WITHOUT headers? Sure... But with headers you get better flow (as it has been established no one argues with that point) so with better flow would bring better timing and/or a leaner AFR. So for the cost of MOST alternatives why not just get headers.... THAT was more along the lines of my point.

How did your headers drop you 4 seconds?

You still haven't figured out that more flow does not always equal more power.

By the engine being able to breathe better.

your right... I just dont understand your half assed backwards logic.

So, I can go buy a GTP off craigslist, slap on a set of headers, and run 11's all day?

Yeah, that's exactly what he said...
