performance questions
Hey guys I'm a lil confused
Exhaust: I currently bougth the car with true duals but I want to get a better exhaust. I'm thinking on a Lt and X from Mac or would u recomend me other brands? what muffler would be the best for an X pype? (I know that the X dont sound good) what would be the diameter if I'm thinking on doing f/i and almost all the mods like getting a 4.2 twin tt and all? Is it true that if i gonna do turbo i cant have lt's? How much $$ would be L.t and X with new mufflers? Intake I was gonna buy the t.b with cai and t.b spacer that rpm offers but is it worth it? (i mean the t.b and spacer) The t.b is 65mm from BBK. I think the kit is overprice at $430 but idk the t.b alone cost 240 is it ok? whats the best t.b and how big to get it? is the Helix t.b spacer worth buying? Pulleys in this are idk so much but what pulley have to be change? how much $$? is it diy? Ignition wich is the best JBA or MotoBlue ignition wires? How can I make the installation easy? what parts do I have to remove besides the intake? that's all for now dont think i'm stupid by asking this is that from nowhere I got these questions..

The only thing I can give is a second hand opinion on the Motoblues. I know a girl that got them and she said it made a noticable difference in gas mileage and power. I didnt feel like argueing her on it but I think it was because her old plugs were so fouled that anything would have helped her. She used an iridium plug. She has no other mods at all.

well it says it will increase mpg by 15% and will give u more h.p but then every company tell thing to get product sold idk maybe it could be true cause u would be getting a better cleaner spark making the fuel burning more effiecient

arent those like 0 ohm? If there is no resistence, you think they'd be good right? Also, arent the wire shorter? Doesnt that help too?

Ok mac is the only company that makes LT headers for our cars...if you wanna turbo don't het LT's because turbo kits have manifolds with them. A tb spacer is a waste of money. If you get the bigger tb then you have to have the upper intake manifold ported to match the diameter of the tb, the cai will help but get a fenderwell cai. As far as pulleys you only need a smaller crank pulley, unless you have a powerful system, or plan on getting one then you will also need an alt pulley. With either of the smaller pulleys you'll need a smaller belt too. As far as ignition, I m not too experienced...

Need a gt bumper...I have 3in tips on a stock bumper...and I forgot...get a asp pulley.pulley set...also 1072 your spacer is useless and if you want real gains you will have to port the upper intake to match your tb...and I have an o/r H and I get compliments from plenty of V8 ovners

1072...it can be done with a dremmel, but I don't have that much confidence in myself and I wouldn't recommend doing it if you aren't experienced...is there a machine shop around you? And cangri an x is a lil quieter than an H but less raspy up top
