So where can you get power?
I have read through the better part of the first 5 pages in this section and a lot of people seem to have a skeptical view about all performance enhancing products. Does anyone have modifications made to their engine that work? Besides a turbo? Intakes, pulleys, cam gears, fuel regulators etc?

Rep Power: 0 The HP header seems to be the most productive performance product as far as HP & Torque are concerned for the cost. if you're refering to ALL-MOTOR modications, for example, Porting, Boring, Pistons, Rods, Cams, Crankshafts, etc... there really isnt much available to us for our engine, however... GUDE made a "HEAD PACKAGE" which included a modified head, cam, throttle body, etc.. The only problem is that you have to give them your stock products for them to send you modified parts, AND, it turns out that all the people, or atleast most of the people who ordered this package, ended up being very unhappy with the results. apparently atleast one person actually saw negative gains with the package... somewhere around -12hp. OUCH! especially cause he paid out the pooper for that package to!
if you're thinkin about doing engine modifications internally, find a good ENGINE PERFORMANCE MACHINE shop, and have them do the work for you. just make sure you get all the parts together before having the work done.

Explain your reasoning, please.

Rep Power: 0 emmc, you think that the DC sports 2-piece header is better than the HP race header?????
Do you have a reason for this? Or do you like it just because it says DC Sports?
