Default First Serious Mods

Just got my first major bolt-ons put on last Friday, and I am just loving it. I got the Whisper lid, the Whisper MAF ends, and the Corsa cat-back. I also had the Pro 5.0 shifter installed.

I had all the work done at Norris Motorsports in Ocoee, FL. I would highly recommend them to anyone. They are very professional.

The Corsa sounds great. Its relatively quiet and stealthy near idle, but it really roars at WOT. The Pro 5.0 shifter makes a world of difference, too. I don't know how I ever lived with that old stock POS. Friends don't let friends use the stock shifter.

Heres my before & after dyno. I was surprised to see gains all across the RPM range, but I'm not complaining. I can definitely feel the difference just cruising around, and I can really feel that extra pull on the highway on-ramps.

Man, I love this car. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Oh yeah, for the last pull he put the MAF translator on it to lower the A/F ratio just a bit. It got me an extra 5rwhp to get up to 320. He said it should learn that on its own, but that I could come back in in a few weeks and he'd dyno it for free just to make sure. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
