I'm also looking for advice as this car is a daily driver that I put about 65 miles/day on traveling to and from work. Specifically, I'm concerned with reducing the reliability/longevity of the car as well as making it so loud that the noise becomes an annoyance. Don't get me wrong, I like the sound of a well running machine but I don't want to wake the neighbors when I leave in the morning or not be able to hold a conversation while driving.



I probably can't afford all the mods so I'm looking for bang for the buck. What's going to do the most for me?



I'd really appreciate any advice. Also, i'm not married to that site. If something else out there will do a better job, i'd certainly be interested. Thanks very much, Jason


Do any of these tuners post before-and-after results from dyno. runs? I've never seen any. The exhaust upgrades you mentioned are going to be extremely expensive, no? I'd like proof that they're going to increase power substantially.

If you just want to haul ass occasionally, you can't beat nitrous for the most hp per dollar.

And your mechanic will love your for it, too ;-)

Well there's that too...

He didn't say "long term"

I would stay away from the unorthadox pulley and get a lightweight pulley that is NOT underdriven. TG

Does any period over four or five combustion cycles constitute "long term" in your book?

LOL
