adding some tfs 215's, ported fast 90/90, changing out to a qtp header, going with an sd tune and then the nitrous daves 90 mm plate but i want it to run good on motor before i start trying to get the n20 down. i did buy some 28's though for when i do run the n20. also put the battery in the trunk. everything else shouldnt effect the e.t.'s

why do you fear the gear? you have a 6 speed.

when i had a 6 speed i went from 4.10 to 4.56 gears. i went from 26 to 24 mpg. that didnt change my life.

I'd run the SLP dual-dual and a cutout. Have your cake and eat it too.

What are the specs of that cam?

that cam should make some pretty good power. Try retunning the car with open exhuast. With that much overlap its gonna need a very low restriction exhuast system to work right. I would try cutting plugs for the tuneup as open headered wideband tunning is very hard to do withouth collector exstensions.

Thats what I have.

I have been tempted by the true duals, but I like the current sound.

Yeah that's a popular NA cam, there's more in it. Retune, maybe get a 90mm on there. Most of the folks posting big numbers also have 90mm intake and other stuff like that.
