Well my motor setup is a 3L with Oval port heads hogged out and made to match a svt upper and lower which called for extensive porting and polishing and to have a couple of adapter plates made to mate the two together. My baseline was 196 with stock everything. With the 65mm opt. TB was 201 and then I put true duals and changed my air filter and few other mods (BAT) and i hit 212. I am trying to remember some of the mods but its been so long. LOL Anyway that is my setup pretty much. Also the super AFC helped me get the last 4-5 HP out of the car. So is anyone in the NJ/NY area willing to help out with a weekend project. LOL do you think it is absolutly neccesary to have a compressor. Also i am gonna need to have the Y pipe modified to match up with the true duals 14.53 was witha 2.3 60' also.....which isnt good at all! Last edited by jiako; 10/15/04 12:00 PM.

So I figured I am still gonna need to have the pipe that goes around the oil pan and that same piece that i modified so what the hell it is worth the 40 bucks......or is there something better for me to do?
