Default Time to upgrade.....

Ok, besides forced induction....in addition to what i already have done, I was thinking of an accufab 75mm(I think this is the right dimension) throttle body...or a set of stainless shorty headers. With money aside....which would be the upgrade to deliver the most improvement? Im torn between the 2. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

1st Problem: If you have a bullitt, then the accufab 75mm TB will not fit. Plus, you have a twin 57mm TB already. You'll get a lot of greif on here about shorty headers, but looked at in the terms of easy, go TB, in there terms of sound improvement, go headers. If you want to go TB, I have an eclipse Accufab TB that's like new that fits bullitts for sale in the for sale section.

Heh. I knew I had probably made a mistake somewher ein there. Im no mechanic. I would have had my tuner mechanic install the correct part. I thought he said something of the sort of 75mm, regardless, the correct one will be installed. Why the grief about shorties? Id consider LT but id have to buy another mid-pipe....the one i have is good and I dont want to give it up.

go for a set of long tube headers, better sounds, and you'll actually see some gains, park the throttle body and shortys.

People hate on the shorties and then complain when it comes time to install LT's or change a clutch and have to take LT's off for it. As far as the TB goes, I still have the one that was on my car that's like new for sale!! Let me know if your interested.
