Well, I have owned my 93 cab since February, and it has taken all this time to sort out all the little things that needed to be done to cherry out the car.......including a new top. But, as I near the end of my list of repairs, I am looking ahead to what performance mods I could do to the car to get the biggest bang for the buck.
My list includes the following:
1. Performance exhaust (custom, B&B, or Flash's?)
2. Chip the car (Speed 6?)
3. Larger throttle body (whose?)
4. Variable pressure fuel pressure regulator (whose?)
5. Spark plugs (power/driveability?)
Comments from others on this board on my list with recommendations of which items and brands to consider, as well as any items that I should consider adding to the list, would be appreciated.
My perception is that I should be able to purchase the hardware to do the items above for a few thousand, but that anything more advanced would require large dollars; so, I am interested in keeping to a budget of about $2000. I will install all the hardware, except for the custom exhaust (if I go with a custom unit).
On the airbox that has been mentioned before, my research........particularly with the 911's I have owned over the years showed that Porsche did a damned good job with their airboxes. I have seen mods that go anywhere from the K&N system to "swiss cheesing" the stock airbox, to deletion of the airbox entirely. Consensus has always been that these mods produce a change in sound, but no discernable power increases. So, if there is documented evidence that mods to the airbox are worth it, I would add that to my above list.
Thanks in advance for your comments.
