Hi Robert, do you think they'll include a better intake and headers for that same $3K?

the problem is they want to test the heads improvement only. not a head and intake and header improvement collectively. they might however cut you a break on the other stuff once testing is completed. give roger a call and discuss it with them. (407)478-8388 it doesn't hurt to call.

That does figure, I would expect that a new GTO mod would be "sexier" than moding a '98 TA.

I may, right after I vote tomorrow. But I thought that keeping the thread alive may actually catch the attention of a GTO owner who may just be interested.
