Would I need meth for this setup?
Hey guys, I am not too knowledgeable on cooling this car, so I wanted to get your help. I am planning on adding a H/DP combo, a smaller pulley (say 2.8), bigger injectors, a heat exchanger, and obviously a tune. Now with my current exhaust and soon to be intake, will it be necessary to add meth, or will the H/E be enough? Also would it be a good idea to change my spark plugs to something better? Thanks in advance.

with a 2.8 you'll probably want to run two step colder plugs. The ngk model is something like BRE8Kix (that's not right but I don't know if they make a plug two steps colder that's not iridium), denso xx24, don't know the autolite number, or any other mfg.

Need and want are two different things. I recommend grabbing it, especially if your already paying for tuning time. It is very effective and if tuned properly can give you some pretty decent hp gains. I would grab it, I love my aem kit.

Cool, thanks guys for the input. What about a return style fuel system? Would that be a good idea too while I'm at it, or completely unnecessary for that setup?

Thanks for all the help guys. I'm not quite ready to buy just yet, just trying to figure out how much more I will need to save. I'll definitely send you a PM Fast98 when I'm all ready.
