4.30's?
Depends on what you're going for. If you're going all out engine work or want to do some appearance mods. You could always do a body kit or something along that lines.

hey bro keep your cats. You dont want to lose your warranty plus get a costly smog ticket. I had 4.30's on my 01 and yes it was nice but it wont be worth the money for you to switch from 4.10's to 4.30's. I say get some JBA headers, you will feel the power with those but dont get longtubes. The install is a bitch but just requires patience. How about a MAF meter? that will give you a good 8-10 rwhp. How's traction? how about some drag radials? Nittos are nice. How about a custom chip? Thats easy horsepower for ya. You have a catback exhaust? Pullies are a waste of money especially if you are gonna run a blower,,,,youll just have to remove them. You could port your intake. How about suspension? or do you just want to go fast? Throttle body is a waste til you are forced induction. You have a shifter? That makes a big difference. Just throwin out ideas man but I say headers, traction, and MAF.

Hey thanks for the ideas...do u think it will actually be beneficial to get a custom cheap at this stage? I am not sure whether a chip will give me that much HP right now..definitly when I get a blower..what do u guys think? I already have a pro 5.0 shifter, what MAF do u recommend?
i was doing some research and read that getting a chassis support kit [strut tower brace, subframe conectors, jacing rails, etc] would be a good idea to improve handling. what do u think? [ August 18, 2002, 02:58 AM: Message edited by: jmir018 ]

I would not get a chip at your stage, Also i would never spend the money on shorty headers after seeing the difference compared to Long Tubes.. get the LT and take your time

Get a spare set of rims and mount slics on them. You spin too much at the track as it is. You need to get the power you already have to the ground before you start getting more.
