About how much HP increse am I looking at on a N/A FC GXL 87 I just got the car and did, K@N intake, Single Exhaust Conversion but want to know the next thing I should do HP wise to my car. I cant find a TII so I think I'll just stick with and N/A for a while but I want more HP any suggestions of if a street port would be good for me? If not then what would be the next good HP gainer to do to my FC?





I dont know why this lil guy is so funny..

what exactly do you mean by single exhaust conversion? just cat-back changes? If so, getting a header and presilencer will have some significant gains. Street porting is a great idea but pricey as it involves engine rebuild.

i'd assume catback. just to caution you an N/A rotary with full exhaust is VERY loud and will shoot some giant flames. just to let you know

NA's are awesome I would just stick with it till you figure everything out.Oh and vosko is right about the flames.NA's without the pump,ACV or cats will shoot some nice 3ft flames. :yum: I should know........FIRE! :bigthumg:
