i have about 800 bucks and am wondering should i go with a new cobra h/e, ingalls td, new motor mounts, and a hurst short throw..... or do i go with the stage 2 and no supporting mods?

i have a full gmmp performance exhasut with the extruded honed manifold coming next week


if i did the supporting mods i would probibly run the stage 3 pulley and already have the extra cooling and wheel hop wouldnt be a problem. and the stage 2 would come right after christmas.

 

Stage 2 FTW!! You'll love the 7000rpm redline!!

 

yah def. stage 2, the hurst and any short throw is a waist of money...honestly the shifter isnt any shorter than your stock but it might look a little bit better...the heat exchanger isnt really needed till you go below 3.0 pulley and the traction mods at best all you would need is a ingalls tq dampner does the work just fine

 

how much of a difference can u feel between stock and stage2?

 

well at first its not much but then when u hit second gear it pulls alot harder and for alot longer to that 7 thousand rpm rev limiter is sex on wheels...and that is no joke...it feels alot different

i had a friend who had a bmw who i raced when i was just with an intake and exhaust well we were dead even with me pulling like half a fender sometimes and what not..when i didnt tell him i got stage 2 i pulled 3 cars on him easy and hard

 

so from a roll a car that beat me by about 2 cars i should be there right next 2 him if not pulling/passing him w/ stage2?

 

yes exactly maybe even beating him because of that 7,000 rev limiter it is a world of difference...

also if i were you i would get a oil change right after you get that stage 2 done
say run it for a day and then go get a oil change...and youll be set to go

 

y is that

 

i honestly forgot the reason now but it has to do something with the fuel injectors getting changed and there being more fuel coming through the car...but im not exactly sure this is just something i heard

 

hey thanks for your help man much appreciated stage 2 is less than a month and counting end thread/

 

Another uneducated person who wasted there money on a pos honed manifold.

 

didnt buy it yet y is it a pos?

 

I have to disagree here, the B&M that I have has a much improved feel over stock with a shorter throw. It's nothing breathtaking, but a really nice improvement. I feel funny driving a stock one after having mine for so long, it feels like someone messed up my ability to shift. I would highly reccommend the STS if you don't like the flex of the stock plastic shifter.

 

Because the gains aren't worth the money. If you want performance you buy a header. Countless guys on this board have gone with the ZZP mid length/DP combo and LOVED it. At 440 it's the BEST bang for the buck out there today.

 

thanks for the info

 

I'm not trying to say the honed header won't give you gains but it won't give you as great of gains as a header will.
