Verdad Gallardo Not worried abou squeaking out every .3 hp by getting 17/8 th primaries. Im a cheap college kid lol. How is that torque converter? I can spend $950 for a yank. But will this one just go out on my quick? Or can I buy an upgraded one? Ill spend up to 650 on one even if its not 3600. A 3200 would be fine for my needs. I dont plan in camming it any time soon
if funds are tight save up and do it right the first time. keep in mind you will also need a trans cooler and tune with a converter. TCI doesnt have the best history compaired to FTI, Cricle D, Yank. skip the gears and go with a good 3600 stall converter with cooler, a real dyno/street tune, 1 3/4 headers are fine. if done correctly, and you manage to put this new found power/torque to the ground you should net low 12's. but since i dont see any suspension mods, more often than not you will blow the tires off while your buddy's 5.0 walks past you.
Along with what you have listed there I would also consider:
-NGK TR55 plugs
-Poly motor mounts
-Ported TB
-SLP/FTRA ram air setup
On top of that, you'll need good a tune. And if you want to put the new found power down you'll need some drag radials, especially having that stall. LCA's/Relo's would also be a good idea to help with traction.
With all that low 12's/high 11's shouldn't be a problem in the right air. Pulling a little weight from the car never hurts either, check out the weight reduction thread.
My car in sig did 11.90's with bolt-on's and had 11.70's in it with a few tweaks. Getting a stock internal car into the 11's isn't that hard but most people just don't know what they're doing!
Enjoy the modding and do everything correctly the first time!

Then why post at all. It's not even a debate anymore, they have been proven over and over to make more power even with minor bolt-ons. I wish someone would have told me that when I bought my first set 7 years ago. They shouldn't even offer 1 3/4" for these cars IMO. And it's not a dead issue if people are still wasting their time and hard earned money on the inferior 1 3/4" primaries.
I also have my own before and after dyno sheet with double digit gains on 1 7/8".

I can't speak for all brands but ARH and Kooks there is a very minimal difference....$20 - $30. TSP's headers are about $90 between the two, should be pretty close to the 1 3/4" pacesetter price. Which headers were you looking at that were a $500 difference?
Just giving my opinion based on doing headers twice and seeing the gains first hand. If you go further with the car (H/C) that's when the larger primaries will really shine.
