What would really help me out here guys? My car would move great once it got going, but it really falls on its face off the line.

I pretty much have every bolt on you can get except for a larger TB and a AFX PCM. Oh, and the crane #12 or #14(depending if i decide putting new valve springs in) are gonna be on the way here within a week.

low end mmm, what about long runners intanke manifold o_o, that helps with low end.

Anyway you dont have almost every bolt on there are still A LOT and you lack the ones with real power.

noticeable low end gains cant be achieved really without some form of forced induction or gaining some inches (nooo not like that you pervs). as the saying goes, "there's no replacement for displacement" or as the pro-stock turbo guys say, "technology is the replacement for displacement"

Long runners gain low end. Short runner gain top end.

Looks like you already have the cheaper mods. I'd look for a used magnum intake manifold and either a magnum head or some work on yours. And if you can't find a magnum head and cam cheap enough, then I hope you go with a crane 12 cam. 14 will be confined by the rev limiter like a brick wall and you'll lose some of your sought after low end.

The magnum head will go right on with no other mods? What about the intake manifold, that does require some wiring to get the secondaries to open correct?

I am reall thinking about that

Although I am confident, get some more opinions. For the magnum manifold you need a 'harlan window switch' I have read. So do some research. Good luck.
