howarmat, nopers..

marcus, search features sucks at times..



i mean, like is the H pipe, cats, driveshaft, blah blah blah.. On the stock cars, what is the most power constraint of the thing.. If it was traded out for an after market it would make the most difference..

Cams? or CAI and tune. thats at least 25 hp right there. Thats nearly 10% power increase for about 600 bucks?

the tune is by far.....25-30 HP from cai and tune. best way to pick up HP other than a nitrous kit

CAI and tune for sure. Thats going to be your biggest gains as far as smaller bolt ons.
