    Bracket options for eliminating Smog Pump on 87

    the one MidAmerica sells is actually a repackaged Breathless, as is what Exotic Muscle sells

    Torque Steers?

    Could very well be the spring being loaded and unloading unevenly.

    " best aftermarket chip to buy"

    There is no off-the-shelf chip thats worth the expense. A custom one is needed if need a chip, but none of your mods warrant it. Wait for heads/cam/intake changes.

    Reserve

    About 2 gallons, but the gauge is notoriously inaccurate. Once the reserve light comes on, get to a station.

    Take it off the car and start hacking off the screens on either end with snips.

    hypertech chip

    Fan settings are in the chip, and they are too low. Go back to the stock chip if you dont want them running all the time. Changing the stat will not affect fan settings.

    drive or overdrive

    Leave it in D unless youre over 45mph for an extended period. The 3-4 clutch pack is quick to wear out and you dont want it to start 'hunting', which causes wear.

    "best aftermarket performance airfilter?"

    Over the original K&N cut lid, the TRUE cold air inductions are worth about 5hp, certainly not worth the added expense. SLPs is not a true CAI, as it draws air from the same place as stock, and its surface area is equal to the stock single filter. Vortex Rammer is a cheap piece of plastic that...

    hypertech power chip

    If you can have it changed for a decent price, yes.

    hypertech power chip

    What are you asking? If the fan setting is controlled by the Chip? Assuming no one has wired the fan to stay on, yes it is. Its supposed to be at 228F in 86. If yours comes on at 170, that is just too low. Mine is programmed at 195 and off at 175, and the aux fan comes on at 188F per my wiring.

    hypertech power chip

    I recommend you buy something else if you want power. Custom chips wouldnt be worth the expense on a stock motor either, so thats out. Headers, exhaust, intake mods is what you need to do.

    Piece of junk if you're wanting HP gains.

    " are hooker headers any good for performance"?

    Hookers and TPiS are both 1 3/4" primary. They do not make the 1 5/8" anymore, havent for years.

    ALL Black ZR1 Style Wheels

    I would seriously consider, since you have 88+, the black C5 rims that I recently saw in MidAmerica. They are not the Y2K 5-spokes, these are different.They are 18"s but that will fit. I have the black GS rims on my white 86, and i love them, but i'd really like to see those new ones on the...

    throttle body ?

    58 would hurt throttle response, and youre not even utilizing the original 48mm, so I would recommend against it. I wouldnt even buy a 52 either.

    " are hooker headers any good for performance"?

    Hooker 16720 is the Ypipe for either 2149 or 2151. $700 is going to be the total price, headers + Y.

    how much extra horsepower from these mods?

    No, LPE doesnt make headers anymore. You'd have to find them on ebay.

    " are hooker headers any good for performance"?

    You should see 15rwhp from the addition of any LT. There are no real performance difference between TPiS or Hooker. The difference is in ease of installation and perfect fitment. Here we can get them for about $700 US, from Summit Racing.

    Headers...Shorties VS Long Tubes.

    The shorty headers give about 5-7rwhp, the LTs give about 15rwhp on L98s. Thats the important thing you need to know Shorty's are not the same dimensions as LT primaries, their tubes are not as long and you end up with more backpressure because of it, they're little better than stock manifolds.
