Ok, well, it's been 6 months since my last upgrade. Since my 15.8 run in
the 1/4 at VMP :(, I've been bitten by the performance bug. I mean, comeon,
if Bernd's anemic V6 can hang with or beat my 5.2, well, can't let that
happen =D
Here's the list of current mods:
180 t-stat
Quick-D Intake (if you haven't gotten this, GET IT! added 2mpg for me on
Hwy, not to mention good HP increase)
Gibson Side Swept Cat-back Exhaust
Hypertech PCM
Autolite plugs (not in yet, but will be sometime this year.. *duh*)
note: after addition of PCM, I'm getting 19.5 MPG hwy.. not bad for these
gas hogs..
Anyway, I'm looking at a couple of things to enhance performance, and get
some feedback... Looking at the modified TB's.. wondering what different
opinions are out there on the different makes, etc. I know speedtweaks is
having a group buy, so I'm definitely looking.. also, 50 or 52mm?? and
no, I doubt I will ever put a SC on it... Also, looking at headers.. I
see group buy for JBA headers at $360.. I've also found Gibson headers at
$353.. I've heard a lot of good things about JBA, but don't know much
about the Gibson headers.
I'm looking at keeping it under $500 total... so I'm going one thing or
the other. If I go with headers, how much you think installation would
cost? If I got TB, I'm sure I can do that myself easily... soooooooooo
what's the best bang for the buck here?
Thanks
