Summer is finally almost here in northeast Ohio, took long enough, but I feel the need to do some modifying. My car has about 65K on it, and really don't have too much money to spend, so something huge like headers is really out of the question. Pretty much just have to be content with little piddley things. Already have the MSD wires and NGK TR55s ready to put on. I was also thinking about getting the ASP pulley, smooth bellows, or some subframe connectors. Would like to get a tune, but don't know if: A) it is necessary, or B) don't have equipment for it, and don't know if I just had somebody do it for me once if the new settings would stick. So with the mods I already have, what would you guys reccomend the next step I take be?? Mucho thanks in advance.

 

Do the throttle-stop mod, costs nothing and gives you a noticeable boost. Best to use Autotap so you don't go too far, although I didn't have that problem. Checked later, and it was right on.

 

throttle stop mod??? please refresh my memory on what exactly that is and how you do it?

 

See http://bmrfabrication.com/misc.HTM

This link explains purpose of this mod and you can buy the kit if you want. Kent1

 

Yeah, I know what you are talking about now, I just always heard it referred to as the Throttle Body Bypass. I had thought about that. Most people I see that post about it say that they got virtually no gains from it, so I just put it off.

 

Alright, who's got more suggestions on this. Don't really want to do the bypass mod because car is a year round ride for me. I know you guys have more opinions on this

 

The bump stop mod is different. It involves using a dremel to get the throttle to open 100%.

Tuning - bigshotdyno.com, for us in NE Ohio. Worth it.

What about gears?

And I have the TB bypass, even in cold Cleveland weather.

 

that wasnt the throttle stop mod. throttle stop mod is here.
http://www.installuniversity.com/ just click on search and type in throttle stop and its the fourth link down. if you dont have auto tap i think you can use a multi meter but someone else would have to confirm that

 

Funny, when I click on it it works??!!
