For starters, I’m curious what cold air kit could I add that won’t require the strut tower brace to be removed on my ‘97? I’m hoping to add a few bolts to the car to get started until the time is right to pull the trigger on forced induction. So far, I have under drive pulleys, 3:73’s, Eibach Sportlines, KONI adjustables, Caster Camber plates and a McLeod Street Extreme Clutch on my order list. I’m still researching but wondering, what kind of CAI/RAI would be best because I really don’t want to remove my brace but also do my suspension right on this car? Who makes a good X or H-pipe that will compliment the car’s current deep tone by just deleting the OE mufflers?
Also, what other things could I add for decent power figures without having to tear into the engine just yet? My lady is a great supporter when it comes to car culture and making the car faster, she wants to get it going as badly as I do. We’ve just been discussing how to get the car to 500hp which is where forced induction comes in. I just want to get all of the bolt on mods done first.
On a side note to any of the tech guys, I have this code, P1506: Idle Air Control, causing my check engine light to go off and on. The guy at O’reilly told me I could replace that part for around $40 but also told me I may need to replace my intake/head gaskets, does that sound right?
