if ur looking for "power" upgrades... it won't be done with simple bolt ons. cheapest way i believe is getting spray or if u got 3k+ to spend u can get a turbo kit... and if ur really deep in the pockets, u can the 20b swap, turbo that and nos lol

with 2 posts and nothing done... I think the biggest capability this guy probably has is

- "how too unscrew bolts"

- "how too mail a package"

- "how too screw back bolts"

- "floor it"

That was not very nice! Remember the discussion we had on here not too long ago about the treatment of noobs?

I'm kinda suprised that no one has whipped out the "SEARCH!!!" nasties yet.

I'm not saying that your are a nub, although I technically all ready called you one... heh...

I'm just saying that Racing Beat's flash is the easiest thing of all the modifications I've done too my car... The only other thing left for straight line speed on my list is a 50 shot, and by then I should be beating anything stock that isn't an exotic/muscle car.

Flywheel was the funnest, because revving quick entertained me good. Now that I look back on it I wouldn't even waste money on an intake until you tune the 8 somehow (which is why I suggest RB's flash). The Agency Power under drive pulley gave a slight increase in rev speed, and the biggest gain for that was in the 4,000-6,000 RPM range. You could actually feel the added torque with that little pulley.
