ok guys, i have been thinking really hard about this.
i currently have a stillen intake, y-pipe, the whole cat back.
i have my whole suspension done along with 12 pounds velox rims and a carbon fiber hood.
Now i dont know what else i can do to improve my performance.

i took out my spare and gave up my sound system.
what should be next to give me more power.

and NO, do not say a SC or a Turbo kit because i do not have money for that right now. lets say i have about a grand to be used. any suggestions?

my goal is to be able to break 13's with no boost for now.

Well lets see...there's NO2. If that's not your cup of tea there's:
95-96 ECU upgraded by JWT or Technosquare
MEVI
Drag Radials or Slicks
Clutch/Fly Wheel

Matter of fact check Nealoc187's (13s) and Ceasars Chariot's (low 14s) for their mod list there are others also. Check the TIME SLIP thread for the fast guys and their mods. Check HERE also for performance part info. Good luck on the one threes.

Mevi/jwt Ecu

Ecu, i got mine from techno for $380. Worth the money

ECU and VI

yeah, i was actually thinking about getting the techno. chip. but how much hp does it give to the wheels? any clues? has anyone dynoed their car with it?

Kevlo911

I believe it is about 15-20hp at hte wheel but power is gain throughout the whole RPM band.

Listen man, i have all that crap that u have done too ur car plus alot more. as far as extra power is concerned just get that Middle eastern variable intake manifold, with the JWT ECU. It takes a long time for the jim wolf to be shiped but if u get the MEVI installed correctly and the ECU upgrade ur games will blow you mind. TRUST ME. that is byfar the best u can do in ur situation the MEVI with all the extra needed parts will cost u about 600 with the install then get that chip upgrade for about 400 from technosquare or JWT. WITH JWT U WILL WAIT keep that in mind.

hope it helps peace

Why don't you just pay for a swap of the VI from the 2000+. They give you the power through the entire band rather than just the high end like the MEVI.

If you go with the MEVI, you need to get ECU. They compliment each other.

I would also look into Headers from Cattman. They are under $1000 installed and they should give you some more torque, if nothing else. You should see some benefit from them too, and you will stay N/A.

Depends on what you want, if you want the Hi-end get the MEVI/JWT ECU. I;m not sure how much the low/midrange increase is with technosquare, but you may have to wait a while longer for them to crack the rev limit code, so its all about what you want

Maximus_95

damn, i just called technosquare aout the chip and they are charging me $595. no cheaper than that.
he said he will never do another group deal with the maxima's anymore. anyways...is the techno. chip the best one out there? how's the jwt chip?

suprropmp

why dont you just save that 1000 for a turbocharger...?

The process of swapping the 2000 VI isn't streamlined yet. That project is for the very knowledgeable and handy DIY-er that has tons of down-time to waste. Bad advice.

With that said, the MEVI/ECU is the best performance option for the money/time.

what do you guys think is better? jwt or techno. chip? what would you guys recomend?

XeroX

iTrader: (13)

i would have to go with JWT....simply because of the raise rev limiter, that techno doesnt have...

if your going for all out performance and top end and a good drop in quarter times... get the JWT and MEVI... but if you just wana drop your quarters and not really worry much about top end power as much, get the techno...

IMO the gains are quite similar...but the techno shows better quater time slips... not by much tho

Maximus_95

iTrader: (8)

what kind of performance should you expect from a jwt alone?
will it do anything? even though it raises the rev limit, our cars loses horse power towards the end, so doesnt that mean that it's not good?

Boosts midrange tq/hp

well the only way you are going to break into the 13s under $1k is if you go nitrous. this is pretty obvious stuff. You've been around long enough to know what caesar, nealoc et al have as mods and the times they run, so you know that $1k isn't going to cut it given your current mods.

If TS no longer sells their ecu for $380, then jwt is better since it comes with a raised rev limiter. Danny is stupid for not offering his ecu at a lower price, unless the incredibly fast turn around time is worth $200 to the buyer.

The guys involved in the last group deal typically had their ecu's returned to them the same day they arrived at TS. Maybe that was only because Danny had such a large number or maybe that's normally how TS operates. I don't know.

I feel so lucky hearing that, i just got mine for $380 during the last GD three weeks ago. I wonder why the woundnt do any GD with us. ECU is my best performance upgrade.

the ecu is worth 595 to maxima performance freaks, and cut a .2 off my 1/4 mile times. At present time the ecu selection is simple:

1. MEVI = JWT ECU Upgrade
2. NO MEVI = TECHNOSQUARE

Im not sure what size rims you are rolling on, but tires and rims have to be chosen wisely. If you are not concerned with what the car looks like out at the track, then 15's wrapped in drag radials or slicks will be a huge mod !

good luck building the sleeper !!!

cool. thanx for the heads up. i think i will be going with the jwt and mevi set up.
how much more power does this give more then the techno, ecu?
