Welcome to our board.Hope you will like it here.

One of the easiest "mods" for any car is to thoroughly clean the throttle body most older cars are down 10.15 and more % power due to dirty tb's.

I don't know what the stock quarter mile is, but for $600, you could probably get a peace setter headers for around $130~$150 at JC Whitney. The original paint desintegrates the first time, I suggest wrapping it with heat wrap, it really lowers the temperature. I would try that first, and if you are satisfied with the PS quality, I think they also care an cat back system for around 140 also available at JC Whitney. If you live in a non-emission county or if you stickly race the car, you can get the Dump pipe from Don @ DPM for around $100. And for around $150 you can purchase an ASP pulley, its a bit heaver than UR but a lot lighter than stock. Although I have heard so many problems with light aluminum problems about leaking oils in the lip, mine never had, but again I only drive mine maybe once a month if that. Hope that helps, that should be around 600 dollars

Pacesetter sucks!

Ever wonder why it's so inexpensive compared to other companies like HOTSHOT?

Save acouple more bills and get good quality.
