Need some proformance

Post by AJT2004 »

I have a 2004 se with 137,xxx miles. want to do some performance work, im already going to be making a fender intake because i

heard good things about it in a previous post. I want to know what else to do, i have a new suspension so i wouldnt like to touch

that(would have preferred the car to be lower but that will have to wait). thanks

There are plenty of different things out there, visit some of the known websites for performance it will give you several different ideas and parts that are available.

www.3800performance.com
www.intense-racing.com
www.zzperformance.com

Those are just a few that I know of but I am certain others on here have some different sites they all know or use. Good luck with your performance quest.

Two of those sites are geared towards the Grand Prix, not the Bonneville, so ask if a part will fit first.

I don't believe you can make a better intake than the FWI, since it was designed for your specific car. INTENSE's price is very good on that intake. Think hard about that before you decide to make one.

If youre not married to the pcm tray that one could duplicate with the bottom of the stock airbox assembly and you have access to some aluminum tubing to reinforce the connections, you can build an intense intake for about $80 less than their price. What the harm in this is I cannot see.
