Your 2.3 Goals


plz no post whoring, and if you're not a 2.3 owner, you can still post yours up

we're all interested lol

but this is mainly for the 2.3 guys to share ideas

we're only interested in the performance part of it, so dont start talkin bout your killer stereo system lol

so here we go

my short term goal:
ranger header, full exhaust
KB pistons and 5.7" rods
u/d pullies
stage 1 cam from racerwalsh

ultimate goal:
2.3T swap which i want to reach 300hp

and that's it
