This is what happened to me two summers agostock with cutout I ran 13.9@104
Then
224/230 112lsa and 1.6rrs
Long tube headers(jethot)
And misc things like pushrods and new timging chain
Ditched ac and emissions crap
I gained 10 MPH!!!
Thats almost 100 hp
Just make it breathe better and pollute better and youll be all good
I am looking to instal the cc503 as well. What other misc things are needed/recommended? I'm looking at 1.6rr's, possibly 1.7, hardened pushrods, and valve springs (not sure which ones yet) The scorpion 1.6rr's require 7/16 studs. Will that require new guide plates? Will stock lifters work fine? Stock timing chain? I'm a noob that's why I'm on this thread lol

I still think the best street racing stealth combo is full bolt ons, longtubes, stock catback,1.6s, 4.10 gears, good clutch, dragradials, 150 shot and a tune....
If auto equipped 3.42 gears, 3000 stall plus the above

Not many cars could touch this back then and some now because you will be underestimated!!
