    I don't think you will see any improvement without some kind of flow inprovement in the rest of the engine...stock already flows more than the engine can use.

    Flash - '97 Black WS/6, Intercooled Powerdyne 11# , LTCC Coil Per Cylinder Ignition, OPTI High Voltage Deleted, 160, Short Stick, BMR-STB, adjustable Shocks, PP+ w/scan, !CAGS, Flowmaster 3" cat-back... 43k miles as of Aug. 2006

    **-** BOOST, it's no replacement for displacement, and there's definitely no replacement for having both!

      I'd do either headers or gears next.

      then move on to ported heads, and intake.

      then a larger throttle body and bigger injectors.

        You will notice a small gain from a 52mm TB, but not much. 58mm would be only if you had ported heads and headers and would require the throttle bores in the intake to be opened up.

        Since you are already allowing the aft part of your exhaust to flow better why not compliment that flow by doing a set of long tubes along with the loudmouth. Not to mention the rumble !!

            Definately get the headers, the MACs are really good for the price, I had a set of them. Just get them JetHot coated, the original coating is junk. You will get the best gains and way better access to your plugs...trust us on this...do the headers.
