this week im ordering my magaflow catback,what should I do next, pacesetter LT's and ory or 3.73 gears?? what would give me the bigger gain??

 

I would suggest the headers, it's true power that will really wake your car up. The steeper your gearing the more trouble you'll have with traction as will a torque converter (these 2 go very well together). As you can see in my sig, gears have been last on my priority list, I even chose to get DRs before gears. Although now they're at the top of the priority list, but that's because there's really nothing economical left for me to do).

 

Headers

 

HEADERS!! I just installed mine tonight and it woke my car UP. I used to kick the rear out a tad going from 1st-2nd, now it damn near throws my car off the entrance ramp. It's quite impressive....

 

hmm ive been thinking this too.. i got ****ty 2:73's but **** i want more exhaust rumble... hmmm im thinking headers too

 

Headers didn't change my exhaust sound one bit, nor make that much of a differance except in top end power. Gears, on the other hand, make a differance all over.

 

ooooh.....yeah didn't think about the 2.73's....I got 3.42's so I lucked out there.

But I am seriously in love with the headers.

 

yea but hell i want gears but the package kit is that really necessary... ?

 

I think you are good to go either way. gears will probly help a lot but headers are just one of the greatest mod's yet! I just did mine and it pulls HARD.

 

Both....

 

I would start with the headers.

 

Well I have longtube headers, just had my 373's put in a couple of weeks ago, and my 2800 stall put in this last weekend. they go great together, but to tell you the truth, I noticed a bigger diff. going to the 373's from 323's. than doing the headers...

 

headers and ORY helped me a ton. Look at sig for the differences, initial run with the headers was 8.92 at 81.04 and I tuned it some more for the times in sig. BTW, I want 3.73s and a stall next, some day.

 

with 2.73s it looks like u will benefit going either way

id reccomend headers right now , the sound the power and track times are more than enough reason to buy them. i gained .5 secs and 4 mph with just headers(no tune at all,14.2 @98-13.7@101 granted i coulda done better if my tranny wasnt slipping)

gears will help u also but its the lack of traction that will hurt u unless u can hook

 

really cant go wrong with either. whichever one you dont do now i would do right after the one you DO wind up doing. gears will get you moving alot faster, and the headers/ory will give you more hp/tq. flip a coin. basically the same results as far as track times.
