Re: Opti Question

a new distributor (Opti) won't "add" horse power....unless the one you have is bad and causing misfire. Like any distributor it has a cap & rotor and those are wear items and need replacing just like any other distributor

straight pipes...when you open up exhaust, or go with larger exhaust pipe, you can lose low end TQ but gain some high rpm HP.

I think just cutting out CATS & mufflers and just going straight pipe would more effect just the sound and possibly give up a little low end TQ and maybe add a few HP up top if any at all.
