Want more Easy and Fast Horses !!!! Whats the answer ???
I'm Trying to get a list of the things that can get me more Horses without having to tear apart the engine and get major stuff...... what can i do ?
I have the air filter and intake ( Double ram air intake custom made )
Authority performance chip.
Performance throttle body
Performance fuel pressure reg.
Wires.
Sparks.
Headers and complete exaust system.
I need more but i dont know what else to put on the car.... You know tricky stuff that goes around to make cars faster in a safe way for the engine of course.
I dont wanna do anything major yet because i'm going to school next year to be an Automotive Master Technician and Porsche Specialist , so then i'll have the best knowledgei can get to really work heavily on the car and get the real horses. But for now i want to make it as fast as i can without the heavy work.
How do i do that ??? Anybody has any good ideas or has been through that already ????

Best overall bang for the buck is to pull your fuel injectors and have them professionally cleaned, flow tested, and new o-ringed. Should cost about $25 per injector. Any major NAPA store can do it and they are very good. If you need the DIY procedure, let me know. I can also e-mail you what my 100K mile injectors looked like before I cleaned them and I had been using Techron fuel injector cleaner after every oil change! I was absolutely amazed to the increase in throttle response that it made. Several other people have done this since and have seen the same difference even after having only 60K miles on their cars.
Other things that I have done is to buy the $155 944S2 performance chip from Steve R. It is as good if not better than the Autothority and is is way cheaper.
Your can also upgrage the ignition coil to the Nology coil for about $99.
Throttle bodies, exhaust, and Adj. Fuel Press. Regs do not really give good bang for the buck in the S2's since they are already tweeked out. If you definitly want a good exhaust, look on Speed Force Racing's website and they have very good ones for way less then the competition.
Good luck and let me know! <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

I don't think any of the items you list will do much more than make you poorer. You could spend thousands and get a few HP in return.

If power is what you want, sell it and buy a turbo... or spend the money on suspension, wheels & tires, and DE or autox events to improve the driver. You'll have more fun and save some money.
