The itch to mod is coming back...can't seem to stop.:bash:

I already have a 2.8, chip, cold air and exhaust...Need some input regarding the next best mod!

I was seriously looking into the coolah until the news came out about Mr.Wilks. I can't seem to find any other intercoolers on the market. Started to look into Mezierre Water Pump and Hypertech 160 Thermostat..not sure if its the best bang for the buck though.

I know I need plugs but not sure how much more h.p that will give me.

Also was looking into getting a 6lb lower pulley but not sure how the blower would hold up at 20 psi of boost.

Any suggestions?

More mods not only boosts your cars performance, it also boosts the economy so keep boosting the economy. That's what I told my wife but she didn't buy it!:shrug:

Lower pulley, TB. PHP makes a heat exchanger for our cars, but I have no idea how well it works.

Dont forget about the Flux Capacitor!! 1.21 gigwats...I'm not sure how much RWHP that is but it worked for Marty Mcfly!

Of course you can always try a Mr. Fusion!

that's pretty good!:beer:

I wasn't really looking into headers since everyone was claiming that they were either staying at the same h.p or losing some. Have some of you gained from this mod?

Anyone have any experience with any aftermarket heat exchanger?

As for the lower pulley, will the motor hold up to 20psi of boost?

After I get some more power I'm defintely getting the half shaft kit and some subs! Looks like the throttle body has everyone's vote so far.

Those were mainly just peak numbers. The area under peak really picks up though. Especially on cars running high boost.

Since your entertaining suggestions why not look into neon underglo, curb feelers, japanese lettering across the hood, or a 5' high rear wing. Apparently it adds tons of HP for the ricers!

OK, I'll shut up now!!

Yea, go with the throttle body, either Accufab or BilletFlow(my vote), and if you aren't looking for longtubes you can try the Bassani mid-length. I have only heard good things about them. I think I will install what I have in my sig. and try to wring the best E.T. out of it before I mod more. My credit card company won't like it, I have to get help, I am an addict. At least I can admit it, and admitting it is half the problem. Hey ya only live once right??? I work hard for my money, why not treat my car right? Am I justifying myself....better quit while I am ahead.

I'm starting to come to that conclusion as well!

Who has the best price on the Accufab throttlebody?

I have seen both in person and the billetflow looks like a better engineered piece. They both flow about the same. Also with the accufab tb the cruise control and throttle cable connections are way off, leaving you with alot of slack. With the billet flow you can also get in different colors and have almost anything engraved on it. Check them out at www.billetflow.com
