I have a 2001 auto cl S w/ brand new motor and tranny. Wanna speed it up a little what should be my first most efficient step? please help

 

headers, rear sway bar, intake...

lol for starters

 

^ That's a good start.

 

Most efficient first step would be to install a set of headers in my opinion.

There's lots of info/debates on which headers are the best.

Lots of threads to sort through in the FAQ's so you can decide what's best for your ride.

What's your budget?

 

Springs,pulleys,headers,intake

 

Comptech Headers

 

def headers if you want speed and don't want to shell out $$$ for the supercharger.

comptech headers if you can afford them (new-~1200 or used-~600). if not, xs power is great band for your buck (new ~150).

 

I will have comptech headers for sale in the black market next week if anyone wants them, just a heads up.

 

if you can find the option underdrive pulley (ebay or BM) its like 2:1 ratio for dollar to horsepower, best $40 spent on this car.
Then I would do headers and suspension... and CAI

 

headers-since auto i would go with the DC headers, intake-aem, ct icebox etc., pulley-UR, option, etc.

 

underdrive crank pulley, headers, intake then lower the car, get coil overs. but if on a budget, springs will work

 

Headers
Intake
Pulley
Suspension
Save up for a new tranny

 

My first mod for my CL was my cold air intake.

However if you're looking for a mod and aren't specifically looking for something you want to be able to do yourself, then there's others..

 

Thanks for the info.. thank god i have a 5 year warranty on my tranny where in VA do you live?

 

Richmond area. Just noticed you are too. Theres a meet out in Va Bch on Sept 12. Its at a go-cart place

 

still surprised no one said save up money for a new tranny yet

 

Civic mentioned it. I only mentioned headers, intake, and pulley because he asked what to do to add more power/speed. If he had asked what to do first overall I would say suspension first, but that wont really improve your 1/4 mile times.

 

Remove intake resonator
crank pulley
headers
lightweight wheels

 

just contact Paul now and get a 3.6 swap done. then pick away at that other stuff.

 

JATO.

It's a FWD rig throwing more power into it not the best idea. Improving handling and brakes. When you race, the faster you can slow down the faster you can go around the track.

 

Noticed they still have these on Option's website. I'm not sure if they're still sold out on their Ebay page:

I almost got one of those when it came out.

Bought my first car instead.

 

Jet Assisted Take-Off. Slap one of them on your CL and you'll go very fast.
