Re: the road to 205 hp

[b]I. Any thoughts out there on losing the cat converter? We don't have smog testing here anymore  Yea even though you don't have testing if you get caught with it removed you are breaking a federal law with a $15,000 fine plus it wouldn't run right. unless you found a way to fool the sensors. A 0 cost way to lighten it by 100 pound is to remove the rear seats

yeah I managed to press the POST button...
so its 110 lbs plus 20 for rear parcel shelf door panels? maybe 25 each = 100 but add back 50 for custom lightweight ones = 50 net so far have lost 180 lbs. Lighter wheels could be found, maybe save 8# per wheel = 32 for total of 210 lbs rounded. Or approx 10 hp gained so far by diet. add 10 hp headers add 5 hp air intake and cold air maybe another 15 with aftermarket computer? total now over stock is 40 or we are close to 190 hp. Cost, guesstimating weight watchers, nothing lw door panels 4 x 40 = 160 wheels lets say 4 x 90 = 360 headers est 700 total? air intake stuff 60 bucks computer has to be 250 + another 80 for prof install and tuning. total cost 40 hp is approx $1600 or just about $40 per horsepower. Doesnt sound particulary cheap but think it would certainly give you a lot more FTD factor Anyone else?

I had a thought at the dealers yesterday ( getting recall work done) I could go the express route... Just buy that electric blue GT TURBO & be there already
 What I could do if I only had some extra $$$
