Thread: Help with $600 worht of mods.

yes you will feel a gain in performance, just make sure you do all maintainence first so you wont blow anything up. i would say short ram intake and headers and new plugs if i were you tho...

Thats a good start, Id look into headers before you jump on the dp alot of the guys on here will say that they never should have wasted time with dp/ plog/ pems

another area you should look at is the front manifold they are really restrictive
soo if you wanna stay with the dp then get them ported or replace with a plog

but id recomend headers Pontiac Performance Racing Products for International Sales from SSAutochrome Inc.

this.... i should have done long ago..

intake, exhaust, and a tune. You will feel it. I started with a ubend delete and a tune and it made an improvement. and the colder plugs, and t-stat are cheap, throw them in too.

Colder plugs on a stock car is retarded.

correct.

$100, plus shipping, and you gotta get a case learn done..... which cost me $45. but the first few places I called wanted $100-$140.

You dont always need a case learn I didnt do one with my intense pcm

I didn't either with my DHP PCM.

Read my thread. I have prices posted in it too.

seriously What he said ^^^theres tons of good info in there....

Get SSAC Headers (Turbo Kits, Turbo Manifolds, Import Performance Products, SSAutochrome Inc.) and put a cone filter on the end of your TB. Like a Spectre from Advanced. Then get a Modular pulley system and pulley 3.4" .Colder plugs, Colder TStat, and New wires. Try to get a tune or a DHP PCM, then call it a day.

ssac's are still out of stock was gonna order mine last week altho now going with pem's instead

But they are the route you should go

$600 and 140k miles? Save your money for when repairs pop up. At that mileage you could easily be overdue for supercharger oil, coolant flush, power steering flush, transmission "flush", brake fluid flush, spark plugs & wires, O2 sensors, and just about every bushing and piece of suspension on the car.
