    Bang for the buck mods on stock MSP

    maybe for a little while . . . I have always hated stock. Just cuz. Might not do the intake. - we'll see. I saw the dyno graph, and it started at 5K RPM. So below that, does the 626 manifold suck or what?

    SMIC Heatsoak

    I have used that stuff before on different areas of my Camaro. It gives a race bred look that I actually find more appealing than the traditional "bling". Seems to work pretty well, but hard to measure effectiveness as well.
