Our cars are wierd. We have built in Fuel Pressure regulators, which happen to be on the opposite side from our 96-97 counterparts. We have different fuel pumps. We do however, have a better tune than the 96-97s. We get a bad rap b/c our heads are terribly designed. They suck terribly. Headers were a big gain for my car because it helped it pull up top, where the non-PI heads let me down. Best mod money-wise and happiness would definitely have to be off-road h-pipe. Very good sound, even with stock mufflers, and once I got my air/fuel ratio off the lean side, it pulled a lot harder.

Blown, are you running 10PSI on stock internals, or did you upgrade your bottom end?

Hey 98UAGT, if I replace my headers will I do better or worse...since I have a S/C. Or will it make up for my non - PI heads. What should I do?

Replacing the stock manifolds is good no matter which route you choose (LT or shorty). Anything is better than stock. I am pretty sure you will see HUGE gains with headers and S/C. Any increase in your already superior flow will show. And by bottom end, I mean do you have forged crank, pistons, rods, etc...?
