Question Low end POWER

What would be the best modification to increase the amount of low end power/torque besides changing out my gears? I am getting a new clutch soon,centerforce dual friction, so that should help. Is there anything else i can do??

Cool

Pullies
Posi
Those 2 things will make your low end feel a LOT stronger.Together you should be able to pick up all the parts for less than $200 and you can install them yourself with little effort.Good luck.

You could also get some gears , You would probly notice gears the most for low end power.

SLP has a deal going for 3.42's and a OEM(I think) for $200 plus ship. You can hang around classifieds and pick a set of gears up for $75 and the for a little more than that. That is risky if you really don't know what you are getting but there it is.

IT basicaly gets both wheels spinning, helps you grip the ground, and gets power to both thte inside and outside wheel when coming around a corner and accelrationg out.
