do the rockers first.

do the rockers first.

1 - MACE SPACERS PLENUM AND MANIFOLD
2 - 69MM MACE TB
3 - ROCKERS
4 - DIFF GEARS 3.7 OR 3.9
5 - NEW MAMCAL TUNED BY THE1 [JC MEMBER]

if u get a cam get a rocker friendly camshaft

[old mate]

why you reckon go TB before rockers?

[WogBoyz]

Ditch the airflow meter, id go rockers before tb cus then u get a memcal tune, fit up the tb and then plug in the tune, all ready to go

Don't bother with the throttle body, all it does is trick you into thinking it's doing more at less throttle - it plays a bit of havoc with cruise control too.
1.97 rockers, a CAI, and an exhaust. Don't bother with that other stuff, the bang-for-buck ratio is terrible.

Edit: just saw you're looking at a cam. Don't bother with rockers then, just get a decent sized cam.

Hey JohnyRock,

What is your budget roughly? As there are a number of options

Cheers,
Steve

[JohnyRock]

well about $2000 in bits and peices..

[MACE]

That should allow you to sneak in a cam install, provided you can do the work yourself. If you have to pay for someone else to do the work then probably not, in which case you'll have to stick with the bolt on stuff like rockers etc. This would reduce the cost though considerably under the 2k mark. Let know which way you want to go and I'll quote you up exact what is recommend for your request

Cheers,
Steve
