Nope no TCs in Manuals. Definatly look into tires, ET Streets or Radials should do you nicely.

Good
Fast
Cheap

Pic any two you want but you ain't gonna get the third so don't ask.

Good and fast aint cheap
Fast and cheap aint good
Good and cheap aint fast

I would say get a cutout (just went through this one myself) and get a quality mail order tune or a dyno tune. I have seen very impressive numbers from a dyno tune every car is different and a dyno tune can pick up on things that individual cars like better. Good luck!

you can keep the hypertech but it blows dick and alls it is really good fro it turning you fans on earlyer.sell it to some unsuspecting sucker and leave the programing to the profesionals dont know what you talking about (chain) but a 3bolt kind is like 30$.basically if you not drag racing the car and you not trying to hook right away then you in cam terittory

He wants mad power...for cheap...."yo"

Like stated earlier nothing worth a damn is cheap nor easy. I vote for cam, even if you aren't dragging it a nice set of tires can't hurt your performance.

As for the cutouts, are you refering to the old style with the cable that ran into the car?
