I'm having a hard time deciding on what I should to to the Formula next. I recently installed a Moroso CAI. I want the next mod to give me a little more omph! My choices are a 1LE intake elbow and a 52MM Throttle body. My elbow is badly torn and in need of replacement. My next choice would be a set of 3.73 gears.

I'm not getting a catback because I have plans on doing LT's and True Duals.
Which of these will yield a better punch. Gears or elbow+TB?

 

Elbow- 60 bucks and a few hp, TB is 325 and a few hp. you pick.

Next i would get a pcm tune. They are 75-125 and will be worth 10-15hp because the factory tune is so rich. After that get the gears, or do them both have have you speedo corrected.

I would really look into a set of headers. THey are 500 roughly for all the parts needed but well worth it.

 

Out of those choices, the gears will give you the most seat of the pants improvement. Niether the elbow or TB will give you much of an increase, especially a very noticeable difference like you are looking for.

 

I can order a set of Pacesetter LT's coated. For around $400 through work. A tune has ran across my mind. I'de like to have that after all the bolt ond are in place.

 

The elbow, exhaust, tune, gears and a Yank SS 3600 is the order I would do.

 

I agree

 

Be kind of dumb to get a tune before the gears or converter, id get the tune last. asuming hes going to do this all somewhat quickly.

 

or he could get the tune first and have it re tuned for free???

 

Not to thread jack, but where can i get my speedo corrected, i have 373s and 2200 stall and the speedo is of about 5mph?

 

The elbow won't add any power gains, and neither will the TB with the mods already done. I would do the gears for now.

 

pcmforless for the speedo. A tune will fix it.

 

stock tb really isnt restricting until almost 400whp. so i would def go for elbow.

 

elbow + tune....

 

still got to hook them up $$$

 

Gears all the way, elbow and tb will not give you much at all. No doubt you will feel the difference with gears which will make your car quicker and more fun to drive.
