mod order?

masterb · 05-17-2002, 12:56 PM

I want to add a couple things to my 3.8 V-6 over a few weeks and was just wondering the preferred order to do things or can I just put it all in piece by piece. A Ram Air Kit, Underdrive Pulleys, Cold Air Intake, Maybe a performance chip, Headers & Dual exhaust. And what else would be recommended? Thanks in advance. And keep in mind, I know very little about modifying, haha!

Cold air and ram air?? Most people sitck with one. Chip last. Tell us how the chip works. Most people it hurts unless they are really souped up. I would do exhaust first. Really not specific order you just will notcie most for the exhaust. Good luck man.

Thanks again. Aout the cold air and Ram Air, which would be more effective. And what about a Turbocharger/Supercharger?
would I be able to add one of those down the road and whats the difference?

Supercharger is a belt driven forced air. Turbo is Exhaust driven. When you put in turbo you have to change the headers on your car to a set up that will work with the turbo. If you put one on down the road then you will get rid of the cold air or the ram because it takes place of it. I would go with ram air. Just my opinon. As far as is turbo or super better, I think it is more personal. I have heard people argure over this for a long time. So what ever you like I would go with it. Good luck.
