Platinum Boarder Posts: 1035 Re:If you had $1000 to $1200 2 Weeks, 5 Days 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.

Gold Boarder Posts: 655 Re:If you had $1000 to $1200 2 Weeks, 5 Days ago   I would do the air ride first next time around. But that doesn't make you go faster.   Logged     My Pictures   The administrator has disabled public write access. #234867 smhowse (Moderator) I'm NOT afraid of going fast but, crashing sucks Moderator Posts: 2643 Re:If you had $1000 to $1200 2 Weeks, 4 Days ago   BAK with rejet($200), Pipes ($500) , Dyna 3000($300), 31 tooth pulley ($160), progressive front springs($75) total $1235.00 You will not believe the diff. it will make. look for some deals used pipes/ BAK Etc.
