Opinions


Ok so I have my exhaust and cold air intake...the basics. I really don't know what I'm going to do next. I'm waiting until I get my tax money before getting a new rear end, so thats out. What do you guys think should be next?

1) Finish exhaust...LT headers and mid-pipe
2) MGW Short Shifter
3) ASP 25% Underdrive Pulley
4) Sniper Tuner
5) Ignition Coil, Wires, and Spark Plugs

Fell free to give any other options as well. I'm just trying to get all the basics down, before I head towards the motor.

coil packs, wires, and plugs will make the engine fire more efficient and make the engine more responsive.

Do short shifters really help much? I mean does anyone know 1/4 before and after times. I mean I know alot has to do with the driver, but I was just curious. I plan on getting one regardless, but it never hurts to ask.

just shortens the time to shift between the gears... so depends on how fast you can shift

Maybe I'll wait until the track opens to install it and do a before and after time, just for kicks.

Ignition wont do much unless his stock equipment isn't doing very well.

Get the tuner first. Then just save your money till your taxes come in. That way you know you'll have enough for the rear and gears. If you have anything left over then finish your exhaust.
