intake manifold, throttle body, cams, tune, dig into the internals of the motor, maybe turbocharge, supercharge or nitrous, get motor and tranny mounts

throttle body, yes. intake manifold, no. but its best to collect up every part that you want to put on before getting the tune so you wont have to keep going back and tuning everytime you get a new part

it will help in low end. heres a link to a dyno used with one from CED. but remember tho, this dyno was done with other parts added on to assist the manifold.

Why is the price so much cheaper from ZZP compared to CED?

@ 707 aka vtecmen

i have 1.999 60' with 14'' at 12psi
they are good

if you drop a 5000 on the stickest track ever. sure that wont happen due cause your prep track suck. your stock axle will do the job.

haaaaaa you talking about your axle on your d16z6. that is girly axle compare to your LsTC axle

lol vtecman, i like that. if you think a 14s will do the trick then ill pick some up, im only gettin 2 tho, for track days and late nights lol. im not worried about the axles on my civic, my civic is slow as ballz. and my cobalt, i just dont want those axles breakin on me and i wont be droppin at 5k RPM anytime soon lol, ill end up launching in boost which is wat i dont wanna do. i wanna get a take off before boost kicks in so hopefully i wont break anything. ill be launchin around 2400-2500 depending on tires and track prep

Get a tune from Trifecta. They can tune your tranny as well. That will get you the best bang for your buck with your mods

spend your money on something else. i check your grocery list, it pretty much complete except a flywheel fidanza or neutral shaft

a gt3076 is able to do mid 11s' in a cavalier with slick. his rpm is at 8100 rpm

this 14'' will fit on your ls and vtec.

neutral shaft will give your opportunity to run over 7500.

you have done ferrea valvetrain. + those shaft and run over 8000 easier and safer

these is something that I m not able to explain in english:
