Are they worth it? Does anyone know if these parts are any good? Meziere Electric Water Pump, V-Plus Voltage Booster, or TPS TEC Throttle Enhancer for round TPS Connector. I found them on LMPerformance.com.
if your considering adding to the mods in your sig, the only one i can comment on is the EWP... its about what almost 500 bucks for 5 maybe 10 hp... at this stage you have better options... ported throttle body, headers, gears, hell you can pretty much get a cam kit for that price...
I agree with 98, the electric pumps are nice but extremely expensive for the gains and where you're at. You can get it if you want but you can get other cheaper mods that'll give you the same or more of a gain.

Ok thank you. As of today I now have all of the suspension work done ( subframes, control arms, torque arm, and QA1 shocks and springs) and everything else in my sig. The passetter LT's will be on next tuesday with the ORY-pipe and new plugs and wires and then a tune in a week or two. What do you think should be my next mods? In the long run, in about 6 months I want to get a new cam and heads and run nitrous. What should go on inbetween now and then?

you might want to think about doing poly engine mounts with the headers. not sure about performance, I would just save or start buying parts for your cam/heads. Including a ported oil pump, timing chain, pushrods. Or start getting parts to beef up your rearend some or just save to replace it entirely. Especially with those drag radials and the mods you want to do, you might blow your rear. Or even just change your gears out for now, what do you have right now... 3.73's? will definately need new rod bolts with the nitrous, you don't want to risk putting all that pressure on those stock bolts.

Verdad Gallardo get your throttle body ported... or you could save up for a fast 90/90 setup to go with your head + cam setup but that might be overkill at this point. +1 on the 4.11's when you upgrade the rear. if your going nitrous and changing your plugs you may want to get plugs that are a step colder for the nitrous, unless you just plan on changing them again in 6 months when you do the heads/cam/nitrous which probably wouldnt be a bad idea. otherwise what everyone already mentioned.

Cool, yeah I ordered the TR6's now so I don't waste money in 6 months. Yeah I think I will just wait and get the fast 90/90 when i get the heads and cam with the nitrous. What do you thing about a new MAF or porting the one I have now?

don't port your maf... if your going to spray b4 it you will need to remove the screen... if you want to change it go with a Z06 (aka delphi and slp maf) ... its 85mm as opposed to 75mm... but until you have the heads and cam i don't think you'll see any benefit from upgrading your maf. you can also buy maf ends that don't have a screen or that cross bar on it. thats what i did but again i don't think i benefited at all... not yet.

Ok yeah I already pushed that screen out of it. Do you think a full spool with 35 splines rear is better or a Detroit locker with 35 splines? Remember I would like to keep it streetable to an extent. Like just to mess with the kids and there slow toys lol.
if you removed the screen already, just leave it alone, porting your maf wont net you anything... no idea what to say as far as the rear, i still have my stock 10 bolt with 2.73s... full spool i dont think would be as dd friendly but i wouldnt take my opinion for much on that, like i said i have no experience with it, just what i've read on the board here.
