so if the MAF and the TB dont give noticible power what will the heads and cam. And I would like to upgrade my shocks im thinking about getting bilstein shocks what springs do u think i should get. Anything else i should add to the shocks and springs
heads and cam for sure I would recommend, lakewood drag struts up front, lose the sway bar, subframe connectors, upper and lower rear arms or atleast box the stock arms and use poly bushings, lakewood rear shocks, an air bag in the right rear and your on the way to having some suspension that will hook and make a low 13 second car feel alot faster on the street

no doubt, heads and cam will be the most noticable performance increasers but also the most expensive.

i say get all the bolt-ons and suspension work done, then get some heads and a cam, and get on over to your local track!

Hey whats up/ Look i got a 93 gt too. I put lakewood control arms on mine along with a set of eibach pro kit springs. Alotof people use drag springs but they dont handle as well on the street. As for the 4:10 gears you were talking about.... I put 4:10 in my car it tach's high driving on the road with a 26inch tall mickey thompson et tire. I like the get up and go from the low gears but im changing my back to 3:73. Does your car have a 5 speed or aod. Aod trannys do a little better with the 4:10 gears than the stick cars. I put bbk shorty headers on mine. Its loud but not a real head turner like it sounds like you want. Any headers will show a imporvement over the stock restrictive one from the factory. My car runs low 13s and hooks well on the street. Its not the fastest thing but i still have a factory motor set up as far as cam, maf, heads, intake and injectors.

are the Eibach springs u have lowering or just help it perform better because i dont want it lowered i want the suspension to whip me through turns. What shocks do u think i should get. And i have an aod but what company made ur 4.10s. Yea i would like a loud sound i think hooker headers will do it but im not sure. im also planning on getting 275/50/15 tires in the rear do u think they will fight a 15x10 rim or what. I have weld drag lites right now.

The pro kit i bought only lowers the car 1/2 in the front and 3/4 in the rear its not the low trust me. If you want it to whip you in the tries then you need a tire rim combo that has the least amount of side over hang. I run 255/50/16 on mine on a 8 inch rin the hang over is terrible and sides in the turns bad. My gears are richmond race gears. The tires you want should be fine on a 10 rim you just need to make sure your backspacing is right. Im not sure what it should be.. though. I run stock shocks right now, Jegs would be a good place to check out for shocks. The eibach springs actually have a kit with shocks for like 800 bucks that work together.

computer chips = stupid

the stock computer is the best for your motor.

Trans-Go makes the best shift kit, you can get them on ebay for under 90 bucks shipped to your door too..

Hooker supercomps are some of the best stuff out there unless you go Bassini step headers.
Just bring money in either case.......
