well in that case stay away from me lol
so what other performance mods can be done without going internal?
i have new lightweight pulleys, a ported and milled throttle body, and I've thought about nitrous but i've decided against it
well in that case stay away from me lol
but in your case you have a exhaust leak and died from iti will backfire my nuclear waste all over you while your getting raped.
the first time it was 60$+tax for the head shaving and cleaning...but that doesnt include new gaskets and bolts and such...to do the head, if you were to JUST do that to it...your looking at at least 300$ total...if not more....if you have ARP headstuds you can cut about 150 out of that...but you still have to buy those the first time around.
this time im doing it its getting done as a part of a full head machining by slowboy racing. dont know the breakdown for just that though.
this next round in full im looking at about 2.4k in parts and work and im doing ALL the work except the machining work myself, so no labor costs.
thatll bring up total for the car (not just perf) to 7.5k not including purchase cost....wow...that kinda hurts to realize hahahahaha
perf from that i would EST at 5k, rest is steeo, tint, spoiler, new interior, random stuff, etc

if i could drive like huckernage can though, i would be running low 14s right now and mid 13s after this build...the car will be capable..now all the driver needs is practice to see a mid 13 sec n/a 2.2 and to make alot of people eat their words from the past![]()

y'd u decide not to?
idk i havent had a problem with setup and ive ran 100 shot too lol... as long as u do it right ur motor will be fine.. if u do any perforamnce upgrade to ur car improperly it can be dangerous.. there are many people out blowing up there cars on boostMost consider it at some point, they are typically dissuaded by the numerous nitrous backfires and over all destructiveness of an improperly set up system.
Instant shot can = death (of motor parts)
progressive = fast

Truth, however there are a lot more people running FI setups as opposed to nitrous. Probably one of the reasons people shy away as well. Plus having a temporary power adder as opposed to a more permanent one. Never was a big fan of the idea of filling up a tank just to have the power when I want it.
yea i hear u.. i plan on running boost next year lol.. nitrous is fun tho u save gas and the power is there only wen u need it.. its a gud alternative until i get some money for my kit... nitrous=500 bucks turbo 3000 bucks.. both pretty much same results
till you fill the bottle like 50 times then well should've gone boost lol
my 2.2 isnt half bad. just dont know what to do next to make it faster. i really need my sai ripped out. anyone want to help??? haha
