What will I FEEL most?

91LXConv · 04-04-2001, 05:03 PM

My car is a street car, no track for me. I drive it daily but it only has about 55,000 miles on it. I want more power (who doesn't), low-end mostly. According to my sig (underdrives going on soon too), what short of heads or power adders do you think I should go for. Torque convertor, cat h-pipe...

get a 4.10 gear and 3000 stall converter....a shift kit too.
You will think you just bolted on about a hundred horsepower.

Get a shift kit and 3.73 gears. I would say no more, I like gas mileage. If you want to spring for it, get a tq converter to, with that and a good shift kit, it'll be just like a manual but not as hard on the driveline.

Thanks for the input guys, but I've already got a shift kit and 3.73s (check my sig). Anything else?

either a torque converter or h-pipe is what should be next. you will notice the torque converter alot more, but an h-pipe wouldn't cost as much unless you need a new exhaust system.
