Next Step: Headers or MAF

[notchback]

wow...i see alot of suggestions from guys who are afraid to put their times in the sig ?????????

maybe this is a coincidence?

are we forgetting this guy likes nitrous????

intake won't do squat......i stick w/ my guns

and after a gear swap, the best bang for the buck is nitrous.

sorry to disagree, but i don't see guys running my times on the same gear.....or for half the money

I noticed a huge gain when i put my gt40 on a bone stock motor. so it does make a difference. do u guys think a header swap will get good gains with the mods in my sig?

Who said we are afraid to put times in our sigs? Just because we don't have it down there we're afraid? I guess I should put some other parts I have listed down there as well...or maybe I'm afraid too?

Just for reference, my best time with the stock intake was a 14.51 @ 96.3 mph with a 2.32 sec. short time, and my best with the performer was a 14.23 @ 99.1 mph with a 2.3x 60 foot time (all of these passes were made on 18's with 40 series tires). I've run a slough of passes at 96.x on different days before swapping intakes; with the one time I went to the track with the performer on, I ran 4 passes in the 98-99 mph range.
I do have a cam, but it was in the engine before I bought the car, and it was there before and after the intake swap, and to be honest, I don't think it's netting me much with the stock heads anyway; guessing I'd do better with a stock cam.
I probably won't make any more passes with the 'new' intake before my eddy rpm heads go on.

Guys have said that stock headers aren't really a bottleneck until you are making in the area of 280 rwhp. That being said, you should probably save the money for heads, then go with new headers at that time.

Dude, i know im the odd man out, but deffinatly get the headers. test after test has shown the headers to worth almost 10hp at the wheels with stock exhaust and up to 25hp total with the entire exhaust being done. Headers were the last part of my exhaust that I put on and it really helped my top end. Plus it sound like you can only spend about 200$. remember, before you can get more air in you need to ba able to get it out. I had both the pro-m and the headers put on at different times and i can tell you i got more from the headers
