Lee, are those headers new? If not, put a set of long tube headers, you'll pick up about 50 ft lbs of torque and big time mid range power, with out turning the engine to high, it will do more power at the same rpm you will be shifting, it will move the power and torque up in the rpm range.

Re: Few things done to the 93 today..

I agree, Lee - go to long tubes. If you make too much power (?), you can repulley and make same power as before with less boost...

Re: Few things done to the 93 today..

Edgar. No they are not new.

Richard, I stripped the ceramic coating off of them when I tried to clean them up a week or so ago. They are freshly painted. (figure it will last about 1k-2k miles)

Re: Few things done to the 93 today..

Nevermind on someone wanting them...

If they ain't shiny, I don't want them...
Seriously, I'm half way considering going to ceramic long tubes (BBK maybe?), and modding my Dr. Gas to work with the long tubes.
