Is there any (relatively) cheap way to increase low end torque on the 7AFE besides decreasing car weight?
Would an Injen intake or a K&N 57i europe kit help? Different exhaust? Unlike stated last year, I still have not gotten a new car, so I'd like to make the most of this one without serious mods while it's serving me. -------------------- You say you love flowers but you pick them, You say you love animals but you eat them, I fear the day you'll tell me you love me.

advance timing and run higher octane fuel
intake exhaust header air/fuel tune reground cams increase the compression ratio or put in stronger pistons with stock CR and boost it. keeping stock CR means you won't be as laggy off boost. -------------------- |
