I would compliment the cat-back with a header/mid-pipe set-up. Although, my first mod is most likely a custom Art Carr torque converter w/ B&M Hi-Tech cooler

headers/full exhaust you'll love the sound and the power

I myself was asking the same question about two weeks ago. I work in denver, colorado at bandimere speedway which is our big drag strip in colorado I got catback done on my car and dropped 3 tenths off my quarter mile time, and then went with the slp cold air intake system $278.99 @ marylandspeed.com and it droped another 2 tenths off my quarter mile time and added 2.5 mph to my quarter time. Then that friday i did a dyno run and talked with the tuners. They told me the best bang for your buck is definatley HP TUNERS. AT HPTUNERS.COM it is $499.99 they also stated that if you get headers or any mods you have to have your computer tuned to get the max hp out of it. Also many people state that if you get headers your vehicle will run extremley rich, but if tuned can add up to 45 hp says Ken Duttweiler hot rodmagizine october 2007 issue when tuned with hp tuner. they said hp tuners will maximize every aspect of your vehicle and from watching guys at the track at 5,800 ft above sea level everyone said hp tuner made the hugest diffrence.

a tune will maxiamize the output of your bolt ons, i have slp diablo tune and i love it, im going get a dyno tune sometime just dont have acess to a dyno around here, if u have dyno close to you and can afford it i would get a tune and after i added more bolt ons get another, that way you can see just what they give u

I would first go with and CAI, then look at headers...I'd wait till you can do the tune at the same time to get the headers..

**tyxpx** · 08-30-2007, 11:05 PM

I would get a good tune and some rear gears installed. 4:10's or 4:30's should deffinetly wake your car up.

**kyemt** · 09-03-2007, 01:47 PM

i wouldnt go that low, possibly a 3.91 thats what im going to do

**slpgto2004** · 09-03-2007, 05:51 PM

plz let me know thanks

**Hi-Po** · 09-03-2007, 08:29 PM

Gears are always bad ass.

But I would get some LT first.

**kyemt** · 09-03-2007, 09:50 PM

ive got pacesetters lt on mine, and they work great i wouldnt do a mind pipe just get a muffler shop to weld you some pipe in, cost me 20$ and i gave 300 for my headers

**slpgto2004** · 09-04-2007, 03:05 AM

did u get straight pipe? becuz thats what im getting i got a garage that will pass me on emissions i have already talk to him. and is it true that with no cats u get better performance?

Get a nitrous kit (wet) and a computer tune!
You'll love it and it will only put added wear and tear on the motor is when your holding the button which is seconds at a time......

There is NO other mod that will give you any where near the bang for your buck.

Kits are VERY SAFE these days as long as you get a quality install.
