Intake and exhaust, header, may not be the best horsepower improvers on there own but definately a good start and open the door forh even better gains with further mods. The more you can breathe in and exhale out, the better off you are. But then again you can't beat forced induction.
I bought a red car, because everyone knows red is the fastest.

Probably a new throttle body with the ported 2000 intake and a decent filter would give you in the range of 15 hp.

I am not just saying this because i still have a ported 2000 intake for sale. :D

Why don't I want it or for how much?


I'll answer both questions. First off, we have a SC. it came with the race head I bought last fall. Don't need it.

Secondly, $100 plus shipping takes it.

I LOVE IT.

BUT Best for your buck and not a ton of money... Intake. Intake was the first thing I did and I find the focus really likes having a new intake.
