Thread: Minor Modding/Tuning Up

if youre doing an intake - IMHO either good CAI design (thrasher or wizaird type) or an open cone. fenderwels are okay but its more of a pain imho. also, if you dont feel comfortable having ur PCM chillin there unprotected, grab a PCM tray. otherwise ziptie the *****. intake give minor gains on their own, made my car louder tho.

core charge is to pay for the PCM itself, not the tune. you send in your old pcm after u get the new one and they return it. its plug n play with the PCM. DO NOT GET A PCM FROM ZZP. they suck. otherwise, PCM is a great addition. a must have.

dog bone flip reduces engine travel. its cheaper then getting a polyurethane bushing.

so far i got an open cone intake, downpipe sitting in the garage, waiting for some money for a PEM and Hv3. after i do all my mods im gonna talk to Reptile about getting a tune.

i dont think i can do the U-bend delete we have emissions here in TN.
it would be more affordable and possible if i could to the FWI and make it look really nice. how loud did the intake make your car tho?
PCM sounds like a really great investment..only $100 and you get all that performance. oh yes
engine travel? wth lol
and whats the PEM that you are trying to get? As for the Hv3, it goes in the intake...but it also said in the threat that you should get a better front manifold. are those the same thing? which should go first, if so?
and by the tune, you mean the ported throttle body or PCM?
