I posted a thread a while back about my SC upgrades but lost it somewhere back in February +/- a month or two.
1990 SC stock 5-speed ready for a little upgrading.
Need advice on what, where, and how much to get.
I want to start out cheap and work my way up. I have been looking at exhaust systems lately. Need something to add a "kick" without loosing much gas mileage. It is still my day-to-day summer driver but I will be racing it occasionally on the strip. To hell with the environment, my first proposed step is removing the cats. What is the status on a Flowmaster kit, should I do it or look for something better. I need some ideas. Approx how many more horses can I get from just removing the cats? (No easy access to a dyno available) As well, I need something that SOUNDS like performance.
What is the best way to set it up? I would like to go for a true dual design but without hanging the new system below the fuel tank. I'll probably have to route the new system side by side where the stock one is sitting, can this be done? As well, on the intake side, I need to know what to do. Go with a K&N panel filter in the stock air box or pull it all out and use a cone? And what exactly is the air "silencer". It sounds pretty useless from what I hear.
