A dyno tune with a custom burnt chip OR just pick up a PMS.<br /><br />I prefer MSD for my entire ignition but some people have great luck with other products. MSD is the shit and I noticed a nice improvement after installing all of these components.<br /><br />And if you really want to get performance with no airflow... Move the battery to the trunk. Actually over the right rear tire (or as close to it as possible) for the best traction on the right side of the car.<br /><br /><br />NOTE: Full rear suspension will greatly improve your power to ground transfer and gears are just savage. 3.55 or better! <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>WantedCOBRA</b> <br /><small>Member # 3150</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,8,13,14,33,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Thanks for all the input...it all helps!...James <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
