Plug wires and coil? wider gap on new plugs? 180 deg thermo and bottle of water wetter? These are small and easy things you can do yourself for not a ton of money that are basic maintenance but also assist in going faster.We have similar mods, plus what I listed above, and while I don't claim this to be correct, I didn't notice much of a difference until I adjusted my throttle screw on my BBK 70mm past what was in their instructions(.010+half a turn I think) and my timing was bumped to 14ish(93oct). I think I am at more like 3/4 to 1 full turn. It also cut down on the throttle body whistle. She still doesn't really have a solid top end or anything but lower rpm punches feel a lot stronger. I even backed the screw down to see if it was placebo but it was really noticeable and just kind of doggy, so back up it went and that's where its stayed. Granted I am a T5 also with crap 2:73 gears.I wasn't happy with the mods I had done up until this point but Ive gained an appreciation for working through issues and not proceeding directly to steps 2 and 3 as listed above.  I want gears and a tune next and think thats probably your best seat of the pants mod. I don't think headers will net us much until we do heads and intake and the cost is just too much for a little extra sound. Not to mention the install is way easier with the head off so its like 2 birds with one stone.A converter could be cool but I believe a cooler is required or you'll burn up the converter (ask me how I know and it only took one brake stall launch to complete). Ive only had experiences with an Edge 3200 and a 36 or 3800 vigilante stall in a 00 SS Camaro 4L60e and it sucked balls as a daily. No idea what it will do for yours and I think you will also need a tune.ShaneJust reread the thread after replying and it is full of quality posts for you. A lot of good info and insight only gained through time and the repeating of steps 1-3.</blockquote>
