to tune or not to tune
90 coupe. all original (except magnaflow cat back and K&N air filter. Not quite as fast as i'd like. can't afford a new c6 (yet).
Been thinking about a "chip". I'm on the fence about major mods since the car is in such good shape with all original. Any suggestions regarding bolt on that will help speed her up? torque/hp.. or minor mods..? |
have you thought about finishing up the exhaust system, headers and hiflow cats and xpipe? Just grabbing straws here since i have no idea what the parts market is like for the 90's.

On a 90 a tune will probably be a good improvment, but do the headers/etc. like mentioned above first.:thumbsup:

What rearend ratio do you have? Very often a very good seat of the pants improvement can be had simply by stiffening up the gear ratio. Of course gas mileage will suffer on the highway with the higher rpms that result.

well, had to wait for my son to get home. I tried to get under the car and get the rearend specs, but i'm too big :) So, I found that I have a 2.59 gear ratio. I'm not too concerned with mileage, as this isn't a daily driver etc.. Looks like a big job to change it out..?? |
Probably no more of a job than putting headers on would be. But neither of them are something I would want to do myself. There are several very good shops around Tampa, so call around and see what the cost would be. AntiVenom is an advertiser here (their ad is over in the left hand column), located over in Seffner. Greg will treat you right.

What about torque converter. I've had recommendation to go with a 3200-3500 torque converter... too much? Stay stock? Also, a question about headers. Hooker versus a company called Melrose. The headers look nice, but looks aint everything, right? |
With the headers, get stainless, and have them ceramic coated if they don't come that way. :thumbsup:
