My GS.... Should I mod?

[jon_we4]

Well I've been thinking about it... is it worth it to modify my GS? Or should I stick all my money into my WE4. How much faster than stock can I really make it?

I was thinking of doing some BMR suspension products to get the handling I want. Then a new nose and pulley, shift kit, trans pan, and trans cooler. Then a knock gauge, trans temp, and some other gauge.

Do the springs and other suspension arms work that well? Does the extra boost make it faster?

I just cant ever imagine my GS being as fast or as peppy as my WE4

With minimal mods you could be in the mid 13's. All you need is a pulley, cold air induction, DHP PCM, and u-bend replaced. As far as extra boost making it faster, do you turn up the boost at the track with the T? There ya go...

I have the old Koni adjustable shocks by RAT and Eibach springs. I love the way this car sticks to the road. Not sure about any BMR products for us, but you can find more info at www.clubgp.com/forum.

I say go for it!

I already have an open element filter on it so I can hear the super charger.

BMR has springs, strut tower braces, sway bars, and trailing/lateral arms.

hrrrrmmmm...............

Just watch the setup on that open cone, mine sounded great, but the way it was set up it was sucking hot air off the engine and it actually slowed down from the stock airbox time. Now it's set up with an 'extension' to put it in the far corner of the engine bay, and it picked up to where it should've been in the first place.

As far as putting the money in one car or the other, I couldn't do it. Put a little in the GS and have a mid 13 4-door, and a little in the WE4 and have a flying TR. You might want to watch the shift kit on the GS though, sometimes they shift so hard they start breaking parts. I'd put a cooler on it and put the shift kit money elsewhere.

Good luck!

while the GS may not be as peppy or fast, it will be a better sleeper
