couple things of note here gents running convential true duals on a 3.8 will actually decrease horse power. our cars do not have enough compression for that type of exaught. secondly i would advice agaist the FFF longtubes there cool and all and will give a good sound but 1-2 more horse power and torque isnt worth the 500 mark up over pacesetters. finally pre rear axel dumps are considered at least in most states "off road" and will as such auto fail you for emissions.

You asked about a new throttle body also. No one makes and aftermarket one. You can port and polish yours though.

thank you! this is what i was looking for. a truthful response to the LTs. i got a vid of them being dynoed off of Full throttle V6 and i wasnt to impressed, let me know what you guys think.

i think i am better off just enjoying my car the way it is, now that it is running perfect!
oh and bow tie,
you are fine with emissions, the law in illinois last came out that 95 and older do not have to take emission due to the different process needed to test them. 96 and newer cars have the plug-in under the dash on the driver side, 95s dont, thats why there was always 4lanes for 96-newer and only one for 95-older
