yeah, seems kind of odd, but i wouldn't care if it was double the price of the ported TB, as i'm getting the core charge back anyway.

I can't bring myself to do nitrous. Once I return the TB, it'll have cost me less than $150... not bad to kill my dead spot between 2500-3000RPM!

I'm going lg headers next. Was gonna do that 2 months ago, but needed tires badly. Bad alignment will screw you so quickly.

I want headers I keep hoping to see a great deal in the marketplace. My dealer told me he won't void my warranty for any of this stuff so it's pretty much open season on mods for me now

yeah, that'll be really hard to do with just those. what about long tubes? you should be over 400 with that.

we have a dealer here in town that has their own performance shop, they won't void the warranty either. They will even tune the car with efi live or hp tuners and keep the warranty, as long as they are the one's doing the tuning. lol
