It sounds like you've got everything short of a rebuild and/or turbo.

removing air box and putting intake pipe should net you about 2hp.

What does "all the bolt on's" mean???

what does "fuel ignition and nitrous" mean? Like ignition timing and an SAFC or what?


a little more specific please.
I think you have no clue what your talking about.

OOH! OOH! I wanna Solve the Puzzle?!?!
W E I G H T R E D U C T I O N !!!

Get an AFX ECU? Haven't read a whole lot on those yet but I am sure someone will say "HELL NO" if it isn't a good idea.

Otherwise I hear from the kids around here that stickers and graphics are worth anywhere from 10-50 HP depending on how big and number of as well as placement!!!

:+

GOD I kill me!!!

I coulda swore I saw it on Howells site for $329... Ok I was incorrect. It is $390 but only for the 97. At least that is what they show. Would be a nice thing to get for the girl!
How's things Greg? Good I hope! Drop a line?

Cool! Glad to hear it! Too bad he can't use it! I think that they do custom programming though too. Might want to take a look!

Megasquirt would be cheaper and more effective then any modified PCM. It's not that hard to build or tune, but good luck getting it past the smog nazis.

You could remove your intake manifold and port it a bit. Actually, you should port it a lot. It's just difficult to reach everyplace in there.
