Completing the mods: this is it
Completing the mods: this is it
1. Well I seem to have 100% saying to get the ported "Y" and tweaked intakes, so I will.
2. Some kind of cooling. Rob thought I could use his cooler but was not sure what grill I would need as I have the DCAI kit-may have to go with the EC version-thoughts here on whose is best? I believe to do Rob's the bumper has to come off, how about with the EC unit?
3. Some exhaust work-I think I need to have cats up front and I have a set of PYPES steel cats for forced induction motors. Rob says to leave the resonator and muffler alone but if I find the right BORLA muffler I would try it, can always take it off of too loud, BORLA'S don't drone and usually make more torque down low than the other brands.
If I need the posi then this is where it would come into play. Some fresh oil and plugs(1 range colder?)/wires will finish it off. The goal is 12.25 at 115. Thanks and as always open to suggestions. Mark
PS: Thanks for all of the sincere help I have received this past weekend.

Re: Completing the mods:this is it
I like the goal you've set, but I don't think you really need the ported Y-pipe or manis to reach it. Or the exhaust work. Or the cooling upgrades, but they would help slightly if you end up hot-lapping. The plugs you seek are NGK Iridium IX BKR7EIX-11. I say this only because my best run so far(on Hankook Ventus evo110s) was a 12.107 @ 113.99 with a NW DCAI with X-Streams, 65mm SC pulley, latemodel21's BWK, the previously mentioned plugs with Magnecor wires, and a Eurocharged 1/4 mile "canned" tune. That was with a DA close to -500 though, so it definitely helped. The rest of the parts in my signature haven't been installed yet. I really need to get around to that soon...

Re: Completing the mods: this is it
I have to find something more to do. The intakes a ported "Y" are being done at Rob's suggestion.
I may do my own exhaust. This would be to keep the stock pipes, put a set of PYPES cats up front, remove the second set. For a Muffler I would use a Borla stinger, $240. but Borla is the best IMHO. I am not sure on whether I should keep the resonator. Might try without it, if there is drone back in it goes. I still need a pair of sticky tires and hope if it hooks that it does not bog. Now it will spin and short shift into second. Borla makes impressive gains in the advertising, 7-10 PERCENT INCREASE, maybe 7-10whp at best.
