It gets us all, I have a o/r x, magnapack cb, JLT, diablo predator and a spec stg1/steeda tri-ax. As of now im on my 3rd set of wheels lol chrome saleens, chrome FR's now black chrome saleens which are probably on the way out lol. Im looking into getting lowering springs also, and longtubes but im iffy about what brand to go with. Then you hit the wall were its cams, nitrous, or a blower/turbo

There are a lot of mods you can make to these cars that increase power very little to nothing at all. Doing some research will save you a lot of money. Many mods like CAIs/RAIs, intake spacers, and throttle bodies provide no gain on stock longblock engines. Other mods, that cost less than those previously mentioned and add more power (more bang for the buck) like small diameter damper, alt, wp and hydraboost pulleys, and off road X pipe.
goes in and comes out a monster
^^^ Man, I can't wait and I hope your right! Been purchasing parts for years while I was overseas.
It's going to be one hell of a car man!
I have the JLT rai anyone using the cai? I'm debating on switching
^ I wouldn't, you're just adding another bend in the tubing. There isn't any real power difference.
...and both don't make anymore power than the stock tune and a K&N filter.
For the price I paid Id take it just for looks alone.
anyone know a good website that sells intake manifold or throttle body spacer?
MMR sells intake spacers and there are no TB spacers.
Does the intake spacer increase much?
I heard it has better results on forced induction
I know a lot of guys on here have them but I wasn't sure...I'm still trying to figure out which upgrades are best for the 4v's
I don't have numbers but it felt as though it helped. Go at least 1/2", for the price it's worth the try.
will do...I'm going to do a few other things first but I'll put this on my list lol
Ok man, It makes the shaker look a lot better too 
I know the feeling man. Only gets better!
I agree...I know the 4v motors are strong, but how do they do mileage wise? I don't drive mine hard really (just occasionally) but when I have my days they're fun! I don't drive mine 1/10 as hard as my buddies do, but I always worry about it flying apart. Maintenance and everything are always done before the time they're needed...I guess I'm just OCD:shrug:
I don't wanna hurt it...lol I just hit the 8k mark!!!
and what about this 4v head tick?? Mine's an 03 and that just makes me worry more...I know these cars are made to play with but damn, it's scary...How long does it take head tick to normally come around if it is going to happen?
