Y-Pipe
Chip
UDP
Lightened flywheel

The first 2 give TQ, the last 2 make better use of what you have.

NOTHING will give you gobs of torque outside of a Turbo or 3L...

3 VERY unproven words too I will add...

Coming from a guy who claims 148 TQ with headers... eek

it is a know fact that long tubes will give you tq.

you dont see to many cars running high single digits and 11's with shorties.


all i need now is a lot of throttle and a whole lot of bottle

i wish i was a NitroFish

I think DemonSVT was noting that it is very unproven for our application...only know dyno results have come from Bret and they have been rather disappointing.

well, i need new plugs, wires, had to fix 2 exhaust leaks, and was running with a CEL when i took that dyno... a soon as i get my new wheels on, and get my car into the dealer to get a few more "problems" fixed under my last 1000 miles of warrenty, i will get it dyno'd again, and then tuned. then we will see...
