Default I made a decision



I was going to get a body kit, tint, and some tastefull graffics for the show season...but I desided to give my car more horsepower instead now. I'm going to go ahead and get the Crane #12 cam, INDY intake manifold, and the Lorenzo 60mm throttle body. I'll also throw on a OEM style carbon fiber hood too. </P>


The great part is I'll still get to be in the booths this show season. My friends shop is running the TYC booth at a number of shows in Texas this year and I will be in the booth at each show. hehe.</P>

How can ya get bored with power? There's always more to make it go faster... I still think you should tint the windows though... <IMG style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick="AddSmileyIcon'smileys/smiley2.gif'" alt=Wink src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">

Yeah I'm bored with the power it is making right now. I desided I need more horsepower, so I said screw the show stuff for now. Horsepower comes first.

i personally wouldnt go with a 60mm right know cause u have no real power makers,so if anything the 60mm is goin to dog down real bad.youll prob lose a few horse.the 600mm is great with a neon with a turbo but for you car i might try a 54,or 55mm.just my opinion.unp,mmp comp,iceman intake.oh ya just for your info again ive heard of only bad news bout the indy intake.but for damn sure i could be wrong

I didn't want a 60mm TB at first but everyone who has one has given great feedback on it. The INDY is great when you have a cam in, which I will. It will all work together nicely.

Since you are changing the cam and getting the Indy then maybe the 60mm will be ok. I have advised against this large of a throttle body previously and recommended the 55mm. Your engine needs to demand that large of a throttle body or you will loose torque and low-mid power. It's a matter of supply and demand, if it demands it you supply it, if you supply it and it doesn't demand it you will loose power. Get the A/FX computer to make use of these gains and get a header and open the exhaust up.

Balance between volume and velocity is the key. Volume is better for top end, velocity is for acceleration. <img border="0" src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">

ok ya all im sayin is if u put such a large t/b and u have an intake and other mods,the demand for fuel just increased by a whole lot.u r in essence just dumpin alot of air and not enough fuel.and i have a mopar performance and love it,great deal for the money.i think it was around $250.and the news about the indy i heard was the sensor and other connections are horrible,and the t/b openin is the same as stock u have to bore it to the size of the t/b u have<IMG src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0">
