Would I get more hp gains from a Vorthech after cooler kit or headers? Already got an S-Trim blower, I just want more hp. If I do go with headers, shorties or long tubes and what brand? Another question, I've been having periodic hard starts. Does it sound like I have a clogged fuel filter or is the fuel pump going bad? How do I know if the fuel pump is going bad? What fuel filter should I get? Thanks guys for the feedback.

Longtubes on your car would be like uncorking a magical bottle of champagne...you would love em!

BBK long tubes ! [Big Grin] Your car will thank you for it. They are the least expensive and have a good reputation. Hooker would be my choice but depending how much your looking to spend is up to you. BBK are coated and are about $450. The Hooker are uncoated and are about $600 +. Another difference is that when it comes time to work on your tranny, the Hooker will give you the clearance. With the BBK the passanger side needs to be removed.

don't forget you are going to need a short x or h pipe which will cost at least 150 dpending if you go o/r or catted. SO you're lookin at least $600 either way. If I was you I would make a simple table and put the power gain of one over the price and one side and the same with the other part on the other side. Then you see what is gonna give you more bang for your buck, then that's the mod I would go with. Just my 2 cents [patriot]
