Cool. Just got my ride a couple ofmonths ago. No mods as of yet. Not sure where to start with my limited budget. I guess that is why I came here.

What is a TB?

I think my first upgrades will be a CAI, 3 inch exhaust and Traction bars. So far I am leaning towards a MP90 swap with a ported intake manifold and aftermarket heat exchanger. I want to keep the air temps down as much as possible. Does the double heat exchanger setup usually work best in AZ?

Sorry I actually knew that, but no AC all day I think I fried a few brain cells. Which TB did you get, ad how much of a difference has it made? I have no mods yet. The absolute first thing I need to do is find somebody to turn off the top speed limiter.

Welcome
Let me get some Mods first. We could meet up at speedworld and hit the 1/4 mile. Only $20 entrance fee. I'm not going there until I get some traction bars and some more HP first though.

Hit up sccobaltss for a tune. I would do a header/catted downpipe from zzp, 3.0 inch pulley and 60's (Work with e on 3.0 Chris?) and airbox mod. For traction youre gonna want better tires and tranny mounts.

And 145 mph pulls is a bitch for the blower cars especially in the summer. Make sure your cooling system is working well and you should be fine no need for many cooling mods

Thanks for the advice guys. I only hit 145 on the freeway. Car just stops accelerating. My acceleration really slows down around 130 to 135 anyways. I'm not so sure about E85 yet. I still only know of one station that carries it and it is a little out of my way. Too bad this thing isn't flexfuel. I would love the E85 for the hp gains but it is still in limited spply around here and the tank is aweful small. This is my DD so I also gotta worry about road trips. My worries about cooling is because my driving is all stop and go on empty ass farm roads. I have no idea how to check my ait's either. The joys of being a NOOB. still it was the fastest newer car I could afford.

I have 215/45 r18 now. Would 225/45 zr18 be the upgrade size? The guy at pepboy said I may be able to fit 235/40 on it. I'm not really sure. Just got of of work so iguess I should hit the search button. Lol
