So I get tired of reading all these thread's, about how much power will a CAI give me or whatever. I bought a NPI 2v brand new, then owned it for 11 year's. I spent alot of money I didn't need to, and I learned alot. Hopefully some one will listen to me here, but probably not. Anyway, here goes...
1. Your NPI motor sucks monkey balls, period. Stock they are completely lame and not worth a CAI or catback, you are pissing your money away.
2. at a minimum get a PI intake and PI cams. These thing's run out of steam at around 5k stock.
3. Even better, get your NPI's machined for big lift, or swap on PI heads and get some real cams, easy route to N/A 300 rwhp right there.
4. If you want boost, you can do it on a PI swapped motor. I don't care what you read on a board from some tool who read it somewhere else, I ran 10 PSI on 10.3:1 for 40k and never blew it up.
5. A blower will be a major suckfest without a PI intake, and even better, PI intake and cams, that should put you in the mid to high 300's
The point here is, your stock components suck, you can easily blow 1k on bolt ons and still be driving a car that will sound mean, but lose to a minivan. Sack up, crack open the motor, get some good head's, real cams, an intake that doesn't max out at 4200 rpm, then worry about what cat-back to get.
Oh, and what gear's should you get? 4.10's, always, 4.10's, or be a real man and get 4.30's, it won't blow your car up or mess up your make up, don't be a girl, get real gear's.
I'd be happy to help anyone with their combo, just remember, no plenums, no CAI's, not TB's, no spacer's, no catbacks until you have a motor that moves some air.
