aluminum pipe

Dan 00ES help me to find the pipe. I ordered the "U" 2.5" pipe.

I am going to make a CAI and have the nitrous "jetter" a lit bit away from the throttle body.

Need to buy silicon adapters now , but they are kind of expensive... I could buy PVC rubber adapter I guess and save some bucks.

I noticed in your sig the custom headers from Larson Motorsports, I visited thier site and they are in Denmark. I was wondering if you recieved that yet and how the shipping and install went if possible, I am very interested in purchasing this if it went well for you..

premO,
I have not recieved my headers yet. They are still making the final touches on them. When I get them in and put on, I will tell you all about them.

ignition upgrade

Some people were willing to know what happened with the ignition system after I have upgraded it. Well it is working awesome. The idle is smooth and I feel the car stronger, mostly above 3k rpm. The timing retard from the MSD 8980 also is working properly now. You can swicthed it on during nitrous application. I am running 4 degrees of timing retard.

Ignition mods:

MSD 6A
MSD 8980
MSD 8.5 mm super conductor wires
NGK v-power spark plug

wires

I bought them from summitracing. I had to cut them by myself (took me 10 min !)

You buy 4 universal MSD wires (U$55) and crimp the boots (that goes into the distributor) by yourself. Thats all. Ready to go.

Tip. You dont need to buy 4 wires. They cost about U$14 each wire, including boots. I didn't know it, but buying just 2 is enough since the wires are long enough to make 4. Then buy two extras 90 degrees distributor boots you will be done.
The boot that goes in the valve cover should be wrapped with some heat proof tape just to make it thick enhough to avoid dirty to come inside. It because the boots are not thick enough to cover the whole hole in the valve cover. Not big deal.

corksport has the wires for our cars U$74.
U$45 delivered from summitracing.

still about wires

Another tip:

regading the cutting (wires) I have them all the same size now. I don't think that we should have different wires sizes for each cylinder (as it is originally), so now all of the wires in the engine have the same lenght (therefore same resistence for all of them equally). This makes sense for me until otherwise noticed.

CAI

Well I got the U turn pipe today, what means that I am going to start the CAI very soon. I might be able to finish it by sunday. This time I will try to take some pics. I will route the filter to the front bumber, driver's side.
