Welcome to the forum...... Most people upgrade with true dual exhaust, and a cold air intake. I was reading your other post, and you mentioned missing centers on your rims. What type of rims are they?

How many miles are on your car, and is it auto or standard?

Thanks I love the car anyways it is an auto with about 45 thousand miles on it, the missing section isn't the whole hubcap. The hubcap is there, but there is nothing on it and there is still some remaining solvent on the wheel where the pony insignia should be.

I'm not recalling the design of the hub caps. Are you sure they were not the rims, and the centers look like hubcaps? A hub cap covers the whole rim without attaching to the lug nuts, and centers just cover the lug nuts. There are a few types of rims on that year car. You may have to take it to the dealer if they are stock rims. They can tell you which one you have.......

Mostly daily driver but I'm a member of Barber motorsports so I'll get a roll bar and racing harnesses and take it out on the track some.

Most people get a GT takeoff exhaust and buy an adapter to fit your car. That makes the most sense to people here. Some go with a custom job in which they cut the exhaust right after the cats, and go back from there. It is better than those dual systems you find that just come off of the y-pipe in the back. Those really do not help out much in the power department.

You'd better take care of the chassis before going track work.

you'll need subframe connectors, and rear sway bar, a mid chassis brace, and a strut tower brace at a minimum.

Hey KS, while I have you here. I was talking with the guy who is going to help me install my SC, and he suggested that I take it to the track in the Spring to get some before/after times. The track in Canada is only an hour away. What do you think?

How often have you run?

I mean, if you haven't run that often, then any changes are going to be as much driver as machine . . .

NEver hurts to get track time in, but make sure you get the whole thing checked out before you go.

change oil/air/fuel filters, check plugs, etc.,

that will all change after you get your SC unit in . . . but unless everything's tuned up, it won't be a realistic number anyway . ..
