ps. sorry if i insulted you with how basic i put the terms in....i didnt know how to gauge "novice"

No insult here. The only reason that I kinda knew what you were talking about is because I went to the link that BlueStang6 posted and it goes through a lot of the terminology. So basically I've been familiar with the difference between Axelback and Catback for almost 7 minutes. Before that time I thought LSD was a hallucinagen and not something that prevented skidding tires!

RE: Basic Training

hey Des, My favorites are the turbonator for pure power increase and oh don't forget the gas saving... and I've heard that if you put racing stickers on the side windows you can pick up anywhere from 5 to 20 HP each. Good luck dude it seems your on the right track... I mean road or street.

How did you travel forward in time time to buy your car? j/k (JUST KIDDING). All in good fun, I assure you. Welcome to the forum. Spartan VI offered some very good advice on ways to increase the performance of your car. Once you get the CAI/tune, you'll probably want new gears - either 3.73:1 (IMO the better choice) or 4.10:1 gears. Install a LSD (limited slip differantial) at the same time.

Best of luck!

I was planning to get new gears, I have seen alot of people with 3.73:1 but has anyone got 4.10:1? I want to know is it worth the drop in highway mileage. 60% of my travel is highway.
