Default Help with Mods

Felas my brother has a 1994 Camaro with just a K&N Filter and flowmaster muffler. I was suggestion longtubes after having them installed on my ride. A mechanic has him sold that porting his intake with a 58mm tb will yeild more gains than the longtubes. Any thoughts? I thinkt the 58mm is a little to loarge on a non h/c set up correct?

Not true at all. There are guys running well into the 10s on stock throttle bodies. The headers provide far more substantial gains.

Tell the mechanic to stick to repairs and instals!

Instal Longtubes and a good cat-bac and leave the stock TB alone.....
If the flowmaster is the crossflow TOSS IT!

1.Headers and cut-out and or full exhaust
2.cai or Lid
3.1.6rr and Lt4 or better springs
4.3200+ stall
5.3.42-3.73
6.Tune,160* stat
7.Drag radials
8.Suspension componets
Then get into the good stuff!

The intake and bigger throttle body will give him a larger seat of the pants return.... about where his wallet sets.

Longtubes and a cat-back will return 10 fold over what the intake and throttle body will bring on a stock vehicle.
