So far it has been my exhaust. L/T's Pro Chamber, and cat-back - all MAC. It really opened her up. Most people would probably say gears but I haven't got those installed yet.

Not trying to be a smarta$$, but an alarm! My car is basically stock-as-a-rock, but living in California and having my last car stolen, the alarm gives me the peace of mind to go ahead with other mods.

I don't really have any mods yet, but I love the sound of my Borla sidepipes. Gears, 01 heads and intake, under drives, and an H-Pipe are on the list but haven't happened yet.

Both are slow but easy on the eyes!

The converter really lit a fire under my car's *** . I noticed more difference from that than from the gears.

THe very last mod I did was a offroad H-pipe. DAMN did it make a difference. ALmost more than the heads even. Maybe I had a clogged cat or something before, but it added like 50-60hp.

My Tri-ax shifter. I love the way it feels, and don't worry about breaking shift forks any more. Light Em Up!!!

90dpscoupe · 02-09-2001, 03:48 PM

I guess you cant go wrong with the h-pipe

, i need one badly, but i would say i like my (electric fan) very useful if you know what i mean.

my pro 5.0 shifter

quikturbo · 02-09-2001, 05:04 PM

If your talking power, then gears are gonna be the biggest difference!!! by far. then the h-pipe, cause you do loose alittle low end when you take out that bottle neck. the gear will compensate for that though

my favorite was the tfs heads and the tfs intake

Converting from speed density to mass air. The computer can finally agree with my 3.73's now. It used to ping like a can o' marbles up top with speed density, and now I can do all the mods I want without having to worry about that OR the 'pooter. I guess MAF was the "gateway" to future mods. Now I'll have a ride worthy to street race this summer.
