Re: bolt on's worth it

Of course bolt ons are worth it. Ya gotta start somewhere right? AS far as your gains are concerned....
Tb airfoil: Not really worth it unless you can pick one up cheap. Most people agree that you will see little to no gains with it.

Longtubes:Headers really wake up these cars, you'll see the most gains with longtubes but if emmissions are a problem then don't rule out a good set of mid-lengths. Also, get them ceramic coated, you will not be sorry!

Some of the free mods such as TB bypass and MAF descreen are controversial, some people swear by them and others say dont even bother. Search and ye shall find.

A shift kit should shorten up your time inbetween shifts so theoretically you could see gains from it, but I highly doubt it.

Rear end: I'm not even sure they have 3.43 gears? I could be wrong but I think you mean 3.42, those are a good all around gear for an auto, the steepest you wanna go is 3.73 with an auto.


With those mods you should be good for a mid to low 13 second car providing you can drive and hook. Def get a good set of headers and free flowing exhaust and take it from there. The car will be noticeably faster and louder

I think the best bang for the buck at the track is a set of ET Streets and a nitrous system. My friend added a NX system to his lightly modified 94 (only a cold air intake and flowmaster muffler) and ran consistent 11.8's with a 150 shot.

bingo. do a larger throttle body and increase the size of your ignition wires. might wanna get a different muffler than that flowmaster crossflow, its just s restrictive as stock
