the car already had some weld in flowmaster muflers ....
and as far as gears i would like to have some now but i plan on doin the major mod (kenne bell supercharger) at the end of the summer so.... i dont wanna waste money and time gettin into the gears on a 99...

i have a question on pulleys what the difference on piggyback style and regular ud pullys ....cause i heard w/ p/b style pullys you cant adjust you timing .....

oya and should i tear out the air box buy a conical air filter.??? and is it bad to get rid of the restrictive webbing???

sorry for all the question but kinda anxious gotta beat a ls1 no matter what it takes.....

Couldn't quite beat that LS1 could you :lol:
 
I've heard that you don't get as much power from the piggyback style u/d pullies. I've also been told that they aren't nearly as durable. I'd stay away from piggyback's as well.
 
Has KB actually decided to build the charger for the 99s? Last I heard, they were waiting for 15 volunteers to make a deposit of 500 bux and "then" they'd make the kit. And it would be build to order, and that was it.

Nope...they never did and won't from what I heard.

Dump the timing adjuster, get a custom chip with a dynotune after all the mods are in. Then you don't need a speedcal either. Slap the blower in first. I don't know if you want to run the blower with pulleys.

I'll have to disagree with that.

The Chip will be a great addtion if he'll have some more mods, i.e.: Headers, Intake, MAF, etc.

For the very mild mods that he is looking at he will be ok with the TA.

For the money my recomendation are:

Steeda U/D Pulleys (o/a $150.00)
Steeda TA (o/a $150.00)
Steeda Tri-Ax Shifter (o/a $175.00)
Dr. Gas X-Pipe (O/R) (o/a $250.00)
MIL Eliminators (o/a $50.00)
Densecharger CAI, K&N Filter & Pro-M 80mm Calibrated for CAI ($175.00 PAYPAL to me and I'll S&H :D ($425+ value))
Steeda IRS Bushings (o/a $40.00)
Maximum Motorsports IRS SubFrame Bushings (o/a $40.00)

Total: $1000.00 (+-a couple of bucks)

You targeted: Air Flow, Exhaust, Suspension (HOP), Drivetrain and a good HP/TQ Gain (o/a easy 15-20RWHP). After more mods: SC, Gears, Ported Intake (by me :D ), headers, you could easily sell the TA and then get the Chip (I recomend JMS) and a MAFterburner :nice: .

Let me know.
