Re: what is the next mod?? I always see people asking how much HP with their mods.... The only true way to determine HP is to have your car on a dyno. You see advertised HP ratings for various products. Example, High flow filter 15 hp, air box lid 15 hp, smooth bellows 8 hp (the hp ratings are just an example, I am not sure of their actual promise). I seen in another post somewhere someone adding up these totals and stating that thats how much HP you will get... This is not true. 15 + 15 + 8 = 38... But You probably will see an actual increase of about 20HP. These all work hand in hand and it all depends on the other mods. I you have a cam you will pull more HP from the more free flowing air, gaining extra HP from the above mods ect, just like you'll gain more HP from the cam if you have a good exhaust and heads.....
But as far as your purchase, AIr box lid and cut out if you don't have one. This would be your cheapest.... Best mods for power is cam, heads, exhaust....(expencive)
You want a quick kick... 4:10 gears
Also I posted elsewhere.. Anyone familiar with the K&N FIPK?? Is it any good...? Just curious...
