Time to get a little more serious.

This is what my setup will look like, minus the cute paint job and the water bottle. Although Dasani might add a few extra hp, so I might consider it.

I'm hoping before my birthday, since I have everything I need. I was working on my tune this morning and it looks good on the computer, but will have to see how my car likes it and "tweec" it in.

Definitely been a big learning curve for me the past week or so.

What does a set up like that lay down?

I'm currently at 217 at the wheels, but I am looking for the 300-350 range. Others have gotten much more, but they are looking for the highest number possible.

I just want more hp to get around the other cars at the track that don't believe in the "foot off the pedal" when they point me by.

What do you have for exhaust? I think I heard one here in madison with headers and no cats? Well it had some sort of exhaust that sounded pretty nice for a V6!

Dynomax. They sound pretty good with stock exhaust too. Mine's a bit raspy, but I throw on some techo music and I don't even notice.

Adam put fake Flowmasters on his V8 over Thanksgiving to make it sound a bit louder. I can hear him before he turns into our street, but it's a good grumble now. We confused one guy a few weeks ago. He thought we pulled up in a truck and then walks out to see a Taurus in the driveway.

everytime we see a SHO my gf comments on how she misses her well my old 93 with eibachs and koni setup. I however hated putting starters in the POS every 8k miles. Cool car short of all the electrical probs mine had. I am sure yours will really catch some people by suprise!

I kinda like the paintjob under the hood.


I recall seeing a setup like this on a gen 3 and it was quite the rocket. should be a blast on a 5 speed 2nd gen
