5.0 Bolt-on Input Needed.
I am looking for someopinons regarding my 94. I have 3.55's, Catted H-pipe w/ Flowmaster 40's, C&L CAI/MAF housing, and UDP's. I would guess ~240 BHP, what do you think? The car is a DD and will probably never be built, or anything serious, but I am looking to pull a little more power out of it(suspenion work to come).
What are your opinons/experiences on:
[ul][*]Throttle Body. 65 or 70mm? Expected power gain? Probably Summit's house brand.[*]Headers. Shorty or Equal? The Equals make a little more power, but are they harder to install, or swap spark plugs? Power gain? Worth it?[*]Crane Fireball HI-6S Igniton Kit. Power gain?[*]Also, how much HPwill show up after adyno tune, after all the power-making bolt-ons.[/ul]
I know those question are pretty subjective, but I am looking for some quality input on combinations and such. I want to do it right, and be armed with as much info before I start ordering random parts from Summit.I know those parts are basic bolt-ons, but in what order do you recommendordering them?
Thanks for bearing with me.

well, right now i dont think you should worry about a tb becuase it wont be benifical to you until you do change our ur h/c/i. Any headers over stock will give you an improvment in both sound and performance. When it comes to equal and unequal you should try searching as to which makes more power (i found an article on it just a few days ago by doing a google search, i think the equals made more but im not sure) Longtubes in general make more power out of the three but are more expensive and require a shorter midpipe.Im not sure about the ignition. another thing you can do those is to advance you timing a few degress, the timming light is pretty cheap and it will help with a few ponies however you will need to run a high octane gas.

i agree with mjr. h/c/i. best bang for the buck. equal length headers do make more power. a throttle body upgrade wont help very much if the rest of the motor remains stock. ignition is a touchy subject. i would stick with msd as they are the most popular and recommended.
