K&N, throttle bod bypass, exaust or dump,pcm for less tuning with a 160 thermostat. then your headers. Dont waste your money on freaking MAF, nor port your own. thats good first engine mods.

Hey fattypros, I have the K&N GenII kit to fit your car and I will sell it to you for
$179.95 plus frt. Tests show these kits are good for a solid 14 hp. Let me know.

What about in conjuction with other mods ie; headers and exhaust. Don't they work as complinents to other mods by allowing the engine to breath better. (im about to purchase a moroso CAI used)


It doesn't matter how much you pick up it's better then stock and you'll need it down the road. 93's run better then the rest of us so you're already ahead.

I'm looking into cold air intakes, and the only things that places offer me is the K&N replacement air intake for about $240. The reported HP gain on the site is 18hp, does anyone have any info to support or disuade the use of the intake? Thanks
Spend the money on some good sticky tires. A good frickin' launch will put you down in times for sure. Drag radials probably instead of slicks--might break something. If you want cold air, buy the cone filter and go to the heating and plumbing store and buy hoseclamps and piping and rubber connections and make your own cold air for $65. Filter will be $45 of that.

I have a Moroso CAI. Yes it did cost 180 bucks. That whole ghetto style deal works so go for it if you don't care about the looks.
