i was gonna order some headers but i wanted to try to find some used ones and was alos debating on running a turbo instead but havent decided
 


Well before you get that up and running again, I'm sure you'll do some reading into tuning on of these cars.

Add some headers, up the pulley size to a 3.4 and get a wideband, then that thing will really fly.
 
i have a aem wideband to put in the car and when i did the engine i worked in a machine shop and he was a good buddy so i did all the head work and built the engine for him so he really didnt spend much on that
 


Wideband will just till you AFR haha you probably have so much KR in the build right now, buy a scan gauge
 
i plan on buying hp tuners and headers and got super lucky was just diging into it and turns out the trans plugin just came un plugged ha ha oppps prolly didnt get it plugged all the way in when i put the engine in ha ha
 
Still gonna grenade that trans on that set up (if your running KR free) if you keep the KR then your pistons will give first
 
whats a good set up for making the transmission hold up such as clutches and hard parts? is there just a good complete kit for all the clutches and steels and such
 


No headers on a 2.8? Dear lord, that car should be blown to pieces by now.

Go to Triple Edge Performance and email them about a Trans.

I dont know much about trans but here's a few parts to get you started.

300M Input Shaft
TransGo Shift Kit
7/8th Chain
Hardened 4th
Valve Body Upgrades
3.29 Gear Ratio (Only if you want, wont "Beef" up the trans at all, just better acceleration from 0-60+) stock gearing is better for highway pulls.
 
so ended up getting the trans to work but went to drive it around the block and noticed it was smoking alot and had a little miss. So I did a compression text and got over 160 on 5 and only 70 on the last one so that sucks. I think he may have f'ed it up and not mentioned it so that sucks gonna pull it aprt later this week and see : (
 
the front middle cylinder is the one with the low compression so im just gonna guess thats what happened lal. DAMNIT stupid kid
