Platinum Boarder Posts: 4125 Re:If you had $1000 to $1200 2 Years, 3 Months ago   I'd get a better breathing air filter of your choice, some pipes (2 into 1 seem to be the best performers) and port the manifold (cost $0) and iridium plugs. Then with the left over money, get an air ride shock! Edit: Forgot the jet kit for the new air filter.

But that doesn't make you go faster.   Logged     Feenstras Towing   The administrator has disabled public write access. #234867 smhowse (Moderator) Book em Dan-o!
