Re: Mods This week.

Yes, you will notice a pretty drastic change. Maybe follow up with a mail-order tune and you will be good to go.

Re: Mods This week.

You will notice a BIG difference with those gears! You need a tune and you need to have your speedo/odometer calibrated. You will put a million miles on the car if you do not get those calibrated. Also, your car will run super rich if you run w/o cats. You will lose some off the line w/o a tune, but the gears will more that make up for that. Which parts did you get?

You're going to notice a very nice change. Then again, you wouldn't have spent the money on the parts if you hadn't thought that you would

Re: Mods This week.

Well I got the Richmond Gears, The Trans Dapt CAI. Which looks exactly like a Morroso.( Hopefully it works as well ). Flowtech Long Tubes with the Offroad Y and the QT Performance Elec Cutout. I guess if it is going to make my car run really rich I can stick it behind the cat. I was also Thing of going with an lt4 cam. I was going to get the LE1 package with my income tax, but the wife decided to get new furniture and clothes. Which of course I have to keep her happy

Re: Mods This week.

If youre doing all that at once, you might as well go ahead and get a tune right now. I believe it is only around 120 or so, and you will def need it done sometime soon. (Speedo recalibrated and running rich)
