With the timing advancer, you will notice about 7-10rwhp gain and similar numbers in torque. You will also have to use a higher octane than average to compensate for the advanced timing. Ide either go with this or the plenum. Just my .02 cents.

superchargers are a good bolt on. (they do bolt on)


honestly most bolt-on's are good for a few hp at the wheels. if you want real power, get nitrous or a supercharger. sure the supercharger will cost a lot but just think of all the crap you're buying now instead of putting that money towards one. just my .02

The timing adjuster is a good product, especially from steeda.It will smooth out your rpm's,but if u ever plan to supercharge your car,theres no use of getting a timing adjuster.The throttle body is pretty useless without a power adder or ported heads with mass air.

GET GEARS! if you plan to get a power adder down the road get 3.73's if you plan to stay N/A get 4.10's or 4.30's.... i may instead of going the blower route build a sweet N/A 300+hp car.... few guys on T&J performance boards have it....

I had been going to suggest gears until I read his signature and realized he already has 4.10 gears.

the timing adjuster is a good mod in combination with the underdrive pullies that you already have.

Read my lips! BLOWER!!!!!..When you put in a shift kit, or gears...that kind of stuff, and test drive the car, you get a smile on your face and nod your head in approval. It feels good doesn't it? When you test drive after adding a blower (for the first time), the exhiliration you get makes you bust out laughing uncontrollably. Thats the best way I can decribe it....best money you will ever scrimp for and spend on your car.

I know how you feel though, money can be very hard to come by and you can only do what you can do.

I think most of us on here would have supercharged cars if we could afford it but go with the T/A, even if you wanna do a blower down the road, I think the T/A is STILL worth it for the gains you get, you can always sell it.

I know, I totally understand . I had to go thru alot of financial hard times before I came out in a position to do it. AND, it was pre wife and kid. I don't mean to rub it in or anything like that, so please don't take it that way. I wish the best of luck on all your mods, and If I can help with a little experience, I am glad to do it. I wasn't kidding about laughing uncontrollably though.....hell I don't mind tellin ya I had tears in my eyes I was so proud that first time I nailed it. The next time I laughed like that was when I dusted off that ram-air T/A at the track.
