Which Mods??

Currently I have z1 test pipes, z-tube, and a pop charger. Which would add the most power, x02 exhaust, Kinetix Racing V+ Plenum, or a motordyne 5/16" spacer??? Thanks

best bang for your buck hands down 5/16 MD spacer. Do you have a revup? If so, you gotta add the mrev2. the spacer will add a legit 10whp for $200. cant really beat that.

This is just based on owner accounts I read. On the other hand some people say its fine. Its really up to you. I would pass though. Search XO2 exhaust and see for yourself.

headers for our cars are a pain in the *** to install. gotta lift the engine out to get enough room. not worth the trouble.

If you really want it....this is the XO2.

wow you should really search..you cant use a plenum with a spacer...the spacer will make a different engine tone..much deeper..especially if added with a intake
