6 things here - need your opinion


1- put a CAI on my v6 - got more get up and go but from a dead stop it seems alittle more sluggish that the origional air filter. Am I taking in too much air or do i need to make any adjustments for the increased air intake?

2-Can I put a 3 inch muffler piping in place of my current 2 inch. Do I have the clearance?

3-has anyone swapped out pulleys for the aftermarket ones and did you get anymore horsepower out of it?

4-chip, prong or tuner which is best for big increased horsepower gains?

5-saw something in a catalog called CJ PONEY. It was nos and it was called "sneeky pete" a small bottle 16 inch by 2 inch. Is it worth it to put it in or go with a nos bottle with a 35, 50,75 hp gain for v6's or will it fry the engine. If i do do it ,will i have to change any parts out to accomodate the increased horses.

6-how much horse power does a stock v6 have anyway?

Went with the v6 - convertable over the v8 hardtop (gas mileage reasons) but now I'm bit by the power bug.

Thanks for your help!!!!!

6-how much horse power does a stock v6 have anyway?
190 crank

Went with the v6 - convertable over the v8 hardtop (gas mileage reasons) but now I'm bit by the power bug. I'm sorry you should have gotten the v8 as the mpg difference is minimal

Thanks for your help!!!!!

Gas mileage is truly minimal and makes me wish I had a beastly V8. Of course, the bigger wheels on my v6 don't help either.

^its better yes, but if you are constantly putting on mods that will get very expensive. Until you add A LOT of parts or F/I you dont really need to get a dyno tune
