I agree with starting the suspension mods now. You are just about done with the bolt ons and if you plan on doing internal stuff later you could be wasting money on bolt ons that you will upgrade later to go with the internal stuff. Just my .02

A 3800+ Stall would really show the potential of your car

Pulley is a good mod, usually people save that one and do it along with a cam because the pulley has to come off anyway.


I agree with getting a stall/tranny cooler if you don't have one. You'll have a brand new car with that installed. Do a little research in the auto trans section.

I do have plans for a stall but as for right now I wanna see the lowest possible quarter mile time with basically cheap engine bolt ons..... also I have a friend that just barely beats me and I wanna get me the next extra pull that I can

what kind of results have people seen with a tranny cooler?

Start taking **** out of your car! Light weight FTW! SUX2BU trapped over 120mph with boltons.


BTW - with tranny coolers, people have seen results of something along the lines of their trannies lasting longer.

It can be a good one to have if you are idling in the pit area and need to keep your water flowing when the car is off.

I've debated that myself, but I've seen too many failures to run one on my daily driver.

The new Sphon and Umi ones coming out look to be pretty damn stout. BYUNSpeed has emailed me twice about those bitches already. lol

Keep in mind I drive this car every day of the week so I can't do too much weight reduction. So far I have !EGR/Air, !Back Seat, !heat shields and !spare tire/jack. What else can I do away with without noticing anything?

I definetely agree there suspension does help. My car is way more responsive, also launches and handles better with what lil susp ive put on mine. Brakes are a damn good bolt on that alot of ppl overlook, was first thing i upgraded on mine.
