64432, just got a gs! Posted by iamzbee, Dec-09-03 05:39 PM
I just got a gs and i already have a cat back, dragger muffler, cold air intake, and speed chip. Can anyone please tell me what else i should do to increase performance? I know cams and pistons, but i don't even know where to begin looking for those. Also, i'm thinking of getting a turbo for my car and i've found some decently priced kits so i was wondering if it would be worth it? I have an automatic, but i've seen auto turbo's before...Thanks! :)

If U want to go Turbo try to do mods that U can keep when U go Turbo. Like Crank pulley, Bored throttle body, ported Intake manifold. The crank pulley will give the most bag for U buck right now. :cheers

if I got an aftermarket intake for the 420a non turbo, could I still use that intake with a turbo setup? thanks

Nope.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed the "speed chip". Sorry man, someone pulled the wool over your eyes with that one.

What exactly did you do with the actual speed chip? Where is it installed on your car?
