Could you give me any specs so I'll know what I'll be running, maybe hp numbers since it was tuned, or maybe quarter mile time? Thanks!

Hey knight I also have a level 2 tranny with a vig 3000 9 in lockup converter I don't like to list al my modes because recently I had a races here in New Orleans with a guy that be on here and he knew my modes and I was pissed because he came at me right and won.

I'm going with LT headers such as KOOKS, and make sure they are ceramic coated for keeping cool. I would say a toss up between an intake and cam.
GOOD LUCK!!!

You could use that muffler for true duals or with their catback system. I think you could use the magnaflow with the stock catback. Anybody?

What are you talking about? If you tune the headers you'll pick up WELL over 20 rwhp. I picked up 35rwhp and almost 40 rwtq with a tune due to them.

and since every car is the same i guess everyone runnin the same setup is making the same hp? get real dude.....cams are absolutely POINTLESS w/o the right supporting mods. you wont make near enough power with a cam w/o LTs and exhaust.....if your going to do it "right" the first time, then do it "right" the first time! supporting mods first, then add cam/heads so on, etc.....

LTs/exhaust dumdumdum
