think about 97 ssei mod's

Post by pmicaza »

hi,

i am thinking about mod's on my 97 ssei which has 85k on it.
simple things i have done when i got it last year are complete tune-up, fluid changes, 180 thermo and a fwi.

i do not think i want to get into internals like a cam, so what is a logical progression of options?

my thoughts include a smaller s/c pulley, 1.9 rockers, manifold(s)/header.
what are your thoughts here?

also, at what point do i need to think about a pcm tune?
should i be considering the tranny also?

tia,
peter
