First mod? headers/convertor?
Okay, so my '97 Formula is bone stock, what do you think should be my first mod? LT's with a cat-back, or a converter with shift kit and cooler?
A WS6 hood and airbox, and 3.73's will be ordered around the same time.

Re: First mod? headers/convertor?
Okay, well the CAI will be with the hood, so I guess it would be best to do Headers & catback. I really need the sound too. As of the present I'm not too worried about SFC's because its a hardtop, and allready rides leaps and bounds better than my old t-top car.

Re: First mod? headers/convertor?
why did your t-top car ride so bad?
If it were me I'd get some drag radials or BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KD's. Because even stock my tires would peal out, I had to ease into it a little. Then everything after that you'll be able to transfer more of it to the ground.

Re: First mod? headers/convertor?
The t-top car rattled and made every noise you could think of. I wanted to do sfc's on it, but didnt get the chance. I'm not sure if they will make a big difference in my hardtop though.....anyone have before/after experience with SFC's and a hardtop?

The car gets hammered hard and has been in the 12's for 3 years now.Wanna see how it launches with a stock suspension and no connectors?
