Re: SLP air bellow and VR velocity stack questions

bellows is 99% visual mod....nothing to be gained from the $50 you spend.

VR is still unproven. only claims i've seen are the manufacturers. although Tom from Tbyrne said they noticed something on either a C5 or a truck...don't recall which...but again...they are basically like the manufacturer. they aren't gonna claim 0 gains with a part they sell.

what's the car? current mods...i think i could give you a better idea than those two things.

Re: SLP air bellow and VR velocity stack questions

no....

they are hit and miss. some people have gains with aftermarket mafs and ported ends, some have losses.

how much money you looking to spend? from the mods i guess around $50

here are some ideas:

- if it's manual a lou's short stick (or similar) for $55 new...others are cheaper
- torque arm bushing to tighten up the rear for maybe $20 shipped
- skip shift module if it's manual $25
- fan switch for $60 i think
- throttle body bypass kit for $15, you can do it yourself but the kit includes everything needed and is kindda handy
- poly sway bar bushings to get better handling in curves, maybe $30 for both front and back
- taylor spiro=pro plug wires for about $50, NGK TR55 plugs for $2 each
- 160 degree thermostat for $50

most of these can be found in through the various site sponsors.

Re: SLP air bellow and VR velocity stack questions

Thanks for the information teke. i was looking to spend around 100 and have been endlessly searching all the various online stores to find something good.

i came up with at least a 160 degree thermostat, may also go for plug wires also.
