Default i get a refund!!

ok with Tax time here i am getting a return.

i want to fix the ole girl up. it is cheaper to do that than to buy a new one.

i would love to dress up the motor. braided hoses, breather, and Valve covers. things like that.

thinking of headers..which ones?

mufflers....which one?

SCT tuner...............waiting on hemifevertuning to get back.

Tuner.

Air Gap intake.

GOOD headers.

Free Flowing exhaust to compliment the headers.

Throttle body.

See if you have anything left after that.

Yea, that's what he's talking about. You sure you want to spend that kind of money for nothing? Or next to nothing I should say.

"Good Headers", gibson, doug thorely, etc. Long tubes. 1 5/8ths tube, 2.5, or 3 inch collectors.

I included the air gap in there as part of a "package". Better flow in and out equals more power.

With $2500 in hand why not spend money on something that will actually make noticeable power like a head and cam swap with custom tuning. You can do bolt ons later then.

Then heads too. Other wise headers are a waste of money for the gain.

Sorry, it's my B day, had a few already with a friend and found out this morning I need to have an inch or 2 more cut off my leg. LOL Sorry for seeming like a dick in some other threads.

Edit: I think I'll go finish these beers with my bud and bow out of DF for a few days.
