Default Intake Setup Q's

Hey guys

I want to see what my car can do bolt ons only before i save up for a cam and head swap, right now i have full exhaust with cutouts, LID, stall and gears.

I was wondering what an aggressive intake setup would produce on my car with an aggressive tune? maybe a fast 90/90 with a 100mm MAF, bellows, and injectors??

I researched this but there isnt much talk.

If your car is stock internally, you're really wasting your money doing all that stuff. The parts listed will give you around 20HP total on a stock engine. If that total cost is worth 20HP to you, go for it.

If you're wanting to squeeze the most out of your car stock internally, you need to focus on some other things since you've got most of the bolt ons. If you don't have an ASP underdrive pulley, you need to go ahead and get one of those. That's an easy 1-2 tenths @ the track. After that, start working on your suspension. Adding 3:42's or 3:73's in your rear end will pay dividends as well.

Good luck.

Go FAST 90 for now. Its kinda over kill for just boltons....once the cam and heads go on its going to be more then worth it though.
