yes thats the part but keep looking thru the bay listings and online search till you find actual bomz as the seller for 25-30 bucks
thats a parts store ad you are looking at,,why pay more

you dont need any of that yet
Im guessing based on your stated age -this is your first high performance car?
making it go faster isnt needed right away
Making it handle better and get best braking possible are the real weak spots to address,
and attending `track day driver school` will save your life many times in the future

a turbo or sc is more likely to blow the trans in a hurry- our other weak point--the 2nd and 3rd gear trans clutch plates early wearout, heat problem
Guess what way more power and increased race style driving do to the trans?
do you have 2500 dollars on hand to rebuild it?

those plenum and intake parts are ways to get more air and fuel to the engine for increased power

like I said- you are just learning the car,,dont throw a bunch of money at power parts until the suspension and braking are up to modern standards

spend some money on track days first,,learn to drive the car and outdrive the idiots on the road
dad would have a great time there too!

If running upgraded HID heads and Fogs and new head unit, is it a good idea to go underdrive? or should i go stock diameter. also does anyone know what belt to get if i do get the underdrive?
