    Add an oversized throttle body as well, upgrade the fuel pump and you can do injectors but I really wouldn't bother with just those mods. I'd also speak to Doctor bob he can match up you mods with a tune for a good price.

    its a highly doubtfull situation that (unless its in bad condition) the stock fuel system cant keep up supply for a n/a ecotec....its should be perfectly fine the way it is untill forced induction of some kind is applied.

    My opinion as well, prolly even give the coils a miss and spend on a good cat converter to replace the crap stock item

    Ive got a vs v6 manual like void, would you recommend getting a hi-flow cat to complement my HM headers to 2.5" lukey catback? I'm off to the zorst shop in the near future to get a new Y-pipe made (HM only make an AUTO Y-pipe so mine hang really low), and so i'm wanting to know if i should get a hiflow cat put on while im down there? How much are the lukey ones, does anyone know?

    Thanks in advance
