Get stage 1 and vafc2 if you want to add some more kick for fun. cam is like 320 + 150 on the vafc2... less then 500 bucks. If you go stage two you'll end up spending like 1300 at least.

i just lets you change how much fuel the engine gets, but its not that great. you need a dyno to tune it, and its expensive, so for a few hp youre gonna be spending around $500 after tuning.

Re: any good chips ? ? ?
 
then forget that. hahah. but anything else that is good for our car performance wise that is not that expensive. i have pulleys. havent had the chance to install them but was told its not good to have if you have a stereo system. is this true

i installed them, 2 months later bye bye alternator. it makes it work all the time to keep up with car demands for power, so it fries itself. but ive been using the power steering pulley for years now. it doesnt do anything differnet at all, steering feels the same and it wont hurt anything. it looks nice tho under the hood :)

garbage, it basically messes with ignition timing and makes the ecu think that the gas is pressed 25% more than it really is. so technically its like pushing on the gas more, until you get to WOT and it feels just like stock.

really damn lol what about a high flow cat would it make my dc sport headers n cat back sound better and more hp or no

gearbox, so you would say that it is ok to do the power steering pulley and not the alternator. well i bought a damn pulley kit and its blue. it doesnt really match haha. everything in my car is either black or the charcoal color of my car. and a little bit of red. but the pulley is royal blue. but do you recommend to put the power steering pulley on??

Re: any good chips ? ? ?
 
yup i had a long talk with my mechanic (best in the city) about this, and he says the way our system works, the only thing it would do is affect how hard you have to turn the wheel. which in my case, i noticed no difference. so this is purely for looks. dont install it just for performance bc there is none. imo, just trade yours for a different color. its not worth painting cause it will chip off and look dumb. i have silver and it matches nicely. but they make red too i think. lol actually red would match my bay better now.

hi flow cat is a pretty good mod, you can still pass emissions in most states and it makes the exhaust flow better. im not sure what it would sound like tho, generally faster exhaust flow will sound quieter, and slower will sound louder. but its mainly the muffler that controls the noise (and resonator).

Well for chips, I like the following flavors of Walkers. They call them Crisps over here though. I've heard the Prawn Cocktail ones give you 5whp if you have a CAI and yellow seatbelt pads.

LMFAO Clint, I was just about to say that I love Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream. WTF about the lamb and mint and turkey and stuffing? Would you like some tea and crumpets? You'd better not get over here with a bunch of fruity British habits, man, lol.

Unothorox pulley set is ligher than stock and they offer underiving as well. Effects on alternator with this set, and reason behind it?

Re: any good chips ? ? ?
 
Yeah, they've got some weird shit over here. Lamb and mint is fine, but not in a potato chip. The only thing I'm coming back with is a taste for warm, strong ale. The rest of the food here is a culinary cesspool.
