Costa if you knew jack shit you'd know that since my car was running 2* of timing the nitrous was there just couldn't feel it. when on the dyno the first run was at 112 next two on the jug were at 150. Obviously way underpowered there was something wrong, but the nitrous was working. Found out that my timing was 8* lower than I wanted it which is why the car made no power. Got the car right finally but mom found out about the nitrous and I had to settle for a high 13 second car off the bottle. I believe these are the same times you are currently running and I spent less than 1/3 of what you spent on your car When you learn something talk shit to me

Marc ricky doesn't need an intake manifold, as you said you want bang for buck and right now that is not the intake manifold. I was arguing to proove my point. I prooved my point which is why there was no reply. You know how many different things I tried on my car and we know what worked and what didn't. If want to listen I'm glad to help whenever you need it, but if you want to waste $600 on an intake manifold for 2 tenths then post in the original post that you want to go least bang for buck instead of most. As Scott said this is me calm, you know how I get when I'm really heated

if someone wants to buy "Edelbrock Performer II manifold with BBK pulley kit as well as BBK shorty headers and BBK X-Pipe exhaust system w/ high flow cats and 40 sereies 2-chamber flowmasters." why would you tell them to only buy a shiftkit and Xpipe? they obviously have a budget that can buy more than that. tell me, have you put an intake on a stock longblock 5.0?

Have you put a shift kit on a stock AODE I don't know have the tools to install a nitrous kit and the ridiculuos deal i got on the kit included install so damn right I didn't do it myself. I told you if you want to proove a point you buy a 95 GT and I will and you do your intake and I'll do my X and shift kit and we'll race. he's not going to see as much power from the manifold as you do because of the transmission. As I said he wanted most bang for buck I gave it to him, he probably won't take it, he'll take your advice and cut his time to a 15.2 with the intake manifold, go for it Rick do his mod first and when your looking for more results and decide to finally get a shift kit let me know what did more. I think it's been prooven that I'm just some babling idiot on this board that hasn't gone through mod after mod on a 95 and an 88. I'm glad you'll spend over $1000 to get your car to sit in the 14's rick. You'll probably be able to beat me since I have a stock manifold

hey man, what are you trying to argue about? please read my posts again. i never even said a manifold would do more than a shift kit and H/X pipe. i think it might, but i never said that. all i suggested was getting an intake instead of headers and a catback. if you want to debate, that is the only thing i've said that could possibly spark one. why do you keep insisting on arguing about "dollar per dollar"? where did you get this idea when the guy listed over $1000 worth of parts he wanted to get? the guy wants to drop a nice chunk of money into his ride, tell me AGAIN why he should limit himself to an Xpipe and shift kit. i totally agree he should get a shift kit, i figured it was mentioned by other people already. the going rate for a cobra intake is $350. i swear, some people just want to argue for no reason. i already dropped the whole thing, but you just had to keep persisting.

---

If you knew the guy personally as I do you'd know he doesn't want to dump that much money into his car, he feels that he needs to do so to get where he wants the car to be but in reality he doesn't need to spend that much. The stock AODE takes so long to shift you can almost count a half a second that the car is not in gear. I'm sure you know what will do it for a T5 it's not hard because the respond well to everything. It's no use do any mods on an AODE until the tranny is up to par with some snappy shifts or else you won't feel the full effect of each mod. A $70 shift kit will give him a half a second and it will be a totally different car. Once he has this then other mods start to make sense because now the added speed will be more effective. He wnats bang for buck mods as he has previously posted and the intake manifold doesn't make sense right now with the current set up. The power is in your car rick, just give your tranny help finding it

Rick won't break anything with a shift kit, it can only improve his tranny, the less time it takes for the tranny to shift the less heat that builds up. If he gets and tanny cooler as well that is bigger than the stock one for $50 he will have a nice tranny for the track. The only ricky will need to worry about breaking at the track is his axles if he runs on slicks but even at that he really cn't launch it hard enough to do so unless he runs a trans brake but I don't think ricky is about to get a shift kit, trans brake, and torque convertor, it doesn't sounds like he looking for much power, just enough to drop into the 14's maybe high 13's

Edit: oh and about the Nissan I'm just looking for a nicer car. swomething with a more comfortable driving position for my tall ass maybe I might even start looking at used SUV/Trucks like maybe and Escalade EXT or something like that. I'll keep you guys posted

I thought about it but I really wouldn't use the bed for anything so it would be kind of a waste plus you already have one so why am I goign to buy the same thing that you have. I didn't realize I could afford one but I like Escalade EXT's and I could get a used one for around $35000, so I'm looking at those also right now along with the 350Z but I might wait for the 2005 tocome out. If I can't find anything that tickles my fancy then I will just get another AODE 94-95 and I have a few goals for it. If I can find a white Cadilac Escalade EXT for the right price I'm sure that's what I'll get
