He dosent have much in his car K&N and sum type of aftermarket muffler, not sure what kind? he thinks he can take me. I took a ride in his car and how much i hate cavaliers this car does have some balls. I have a 95 Esi A/T with K&N, Ngk Spark Plugs, Accel wires, and aftermarket muffler..also a hacked airbox.. what do u think i'll need to beat him.

Yeah, you'll never beat him being auto.

5 speed, real intake (not hacked airbox), full cat back (not just a welded muffler), underdrive pulley, cam gears, larger throttle body, hotter plugs, new plug wires, port and polish your intake manifold and port match your manifold to the larger throttle body....


Then you'll kick his ass.
