3 days and I have "MOD"fever already[8)]
From what I understand the best ratio of H.P. gain/Money is to increase airflow(intake/exhaust system) next would be ignition(wires,voltage,com.chip)
Base h.p. is listed at 150-all things cosidered-can I bump it up to 180 for under 1000$.Would be nice to tweak another 3 mpg out of the deal too.

the big grin told cook to wait for the V-8 to be introduced!!

Intake - yes. Ignition - no. Putting platinum plugs & better wires will last longer, but the stock ignition burns what there is in fuel.

I'd look at intake, exhaust, a turbo intake manifold, and cams. Only do the cams if you don't have state emissions inspections, and could care less about the warranty.

By exhaust, I mean cat-back. A header doesn't add much.

Up to you, but a bolt-on turbo would "goose" it, but probably more than $1000, and you really should beef up the innards (rods, pistons) if you go turbo.

Thanks for the reply Don(47 views-1 reply)Cat-back will be the first upgrade.

even the big grin can't fit to install headers

quicksilverdon just about said it all, although he did leave out the very first mod you should make.. Blanes Hood Lift kit!!

You're right, IRPT, tho to be honest the first "go-faster" should be fuzzy dice!

"V-8 to be introduced" now that would be cool!![8)]

Hey,
I am interested on installing some headers to my PT. I have already put a K&N Ram Air Kit and a Borla/Mopar dual exhaust. But i wanted to know:

1. I want it to have better acceleration, not top speed. I have a 2001 PT, and speed after dead stop is so slow. Does it help in that department?
2. Which is better, JBA Headers or Headman 4-2-1 Headers?

Thanx everyone.

P.S. I'll soon put up pics of my PT

4-2-1 headers for low end, 4-1 for top end
