              Like just a catback and stock headers/high flow cat?

              Which setup would you suggest?
              Its an auto tranny.

                actually, the more you open it up, the better, just so long as you don't open it too much - IE too big of pipe.

                idealls, headers + no cat + cat-back is ideal, but a hi flow cat would be more ethical... so i'd suggest that (tree hugging hippy in me won't run catless)

                  With Extensive Intake and Exhaust modifications..Would Fuel Pressure NEED to be upped?

                    lol, nope, not unless your gonna do some SERIOUS modding...like a turbo...that will give you a 'little' more top end [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img]

                    but yeah, pretty much intake and exhaust would do some good. Just dont go for a flowmaster, i dont think its much better than stock...

                        ported heads, intake manifold, pretty much anything restricting airflow

                        and to help with the breathing, fat exhaust
                        2.5-3" headers, hi-flow cat.
                        I will take on all comers...or come on all takers!!! Whichever you prefer.
