Sunday, August 05, 2007 6:51 PM
Alright well i have a vibrant catback exhaust, dc sport ceremic headers, lower motor mount, and a b&m shiftplus(on the way). Does anyone have any idea's on some more minor mods that will help out. I know boost is the big one but i dont have the cash for that and i wanna mod and save at the same time.

here are some minor mods-

* intake
* light weight pulley (alternator and crank) * in the Group Purchase section there is a lightweight alt pulley for $55 shipped, that would help, and it is stock size so no worrie about losing power from the alternator.
* throttle body never hurt anyone (62mm from SMG)
* remove weight (big subs/boxes)
* if your upper mount is stock, you could get an aftermarket upper mount (turbotechracing $125 shipped you can choose mount color and bushing color OR carcustoms.net has the RKSport upper mount which is red with a black bushing for $115 shipped)
* getting a tune could be kind of expensive but it helps..especially after getting air mods like intake and bigger tb.

hope this helps a little...

thats cool man, anytime you have a question or arent sure about something, just ask on here and someone will help..I will if I can. If you order from Michaels GP for the lightweight pulley for the L61 (ecotec) you will get this:


thats my pulley for my ecotec (which is still being built) but dont worry it is stock size just alot lighter...so you will be oj if you get it..

How much of a power increase did you see with that mod?
