you won't feel it. in your mind you may think that you will but you won't. i did these things and more and didn't feel anything. i did notice time at the track so they do make you quicker but a few tenths is hard to tell. i mean can you really tell if you ran a 14.0 or a 14.2? it would feel the same. i'd say gears you might feel and forced induction is what makes you feel something different. but thats just my 4 haypennies.

my 97 GT has flowmaster mufflers (not sure what kind, I think american thunder, they were there when I got it) and a suspension drop, and some gauges, each gauge adds like 20 horse to the wheels, seriously! (ha j/k)

I love the sound with just the mufflers done to it, can't wait until I can afford a step up mid pipe. I got some synchros my tranny needs tho (5 speed) and a clutch so those will be first. Doing them myself in about a month.

Is turning my timing up all the way safe? I can't wait to get off work and install all these parts, I will feel better now when someone asks me what have I done to it.

I went with the Mac 75mm TB and Plenum combo. I haven't got off work yet, but as soon as I get home I'm going to install them. I was going to do it yesterday but, got caught up partying.

How good are 4.10s in rain because right now my tires just don't hook up, I am going like 10 mph when it rains with stock gears and I know people asked this but is the gas mileage really bad with 4.10s.
