Do you not have a Cold Air Intake? I mean your sig says k&n filter, so i'm assuming thats just the stock filter? I would do that next, if it were me. But out of the ones listed i picked the drive shaft...but thats because i don't know what the nirtrous heater thing is for

THe nitrous heater is to keep the bottle pressure where you want it.

WS6's have the stock ram air design... the k&n filter and smooth bellow are about the only upgrade you can do as far as cai goes.... The nitrous bottle heater heats up which creates more pressure inside the bottle

onefast97z where did you hook up your electric water pump?

when does it run, when the motor is running or when the key is in the on position?

Thanks

Ed

I hooked up my electric water pump to a fused ignition-on lead... so yes, the pump turns on when i turn the key to the on position.... however... i also added my own little twist... I ran to radioshack with a couple bucks and soldered up my own simple 555 timer circuit... Now, whenever i turn off my car, the waterpump will keep running for 1 to 10 minutes before shutting off.... depending on how long i set it for... i did this so that it will cool down my engine between runs quicker, and because i always forget to turn things off, and i really didnt wanna kill my waterpump or battery...

Yeah that would be sweet. Is there any way I can rig it up so that I can turn it on with a manual fan switch? so I can have my fans and pump running.when I want them too?
