SSStreetracer04 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Hey guys, I looking for some more small power gains out there I already have exhaust airintake and tune and i dont want to break the bank with headers quite honestly. I was looking at two things, a MAF and a throttle body spacer. ive seen a few prices on each and theyre not too bad i was just wondering for anybody out there with either of these things if you actually saw gains in your trucks and if you think its worth it? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChinoHillian Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 agreed! get something else. those two things wont get you very far with our trucks. get yourself some tint or HIDs if you arent down for spending a lot of money.

broke1 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 IMO,porting the tb and having it retuned is one of the BEST bang for the buck mods you can perform,on my truck,it increased throttle response a ton with a nice mid range gain.Cost around $75-$125,depending if you send it core or what. I actually have a nice ported stock TB for $80 shipped if youre interested. You can buy the China headers on ebay and thru a few vendors for $350-$450.Thats for nice SS headers with a Y pipe.Fitiment is pretty good.Theyre rip offs of major brands.Just make sure you get longtubes.Or you can buy the mild steel pacesetters for $400ish w/ Y pipe.No need to have to spend $1000+ to get quality.I prefer SS and run the LPP's on my 408.Cost was around $350.

f1ss Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) ARH headers with 3 inch collectors or go home. The Dynatech OBX or Supermaxx system is good (2.5 collectors) from what I have read in previous threads. edit-Pacesetters have the 3 inch collector also Edited March 9, 2012 by 03mass (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
