how about get a tune and a small cam and see how you like it? something like the comp 212/218??

 

Sorry to hear about your loss. Sounds like you tangled with an eg civic hatchback. They weigh in at like 2200lbs full weight with driver lol.

 

I have 1 of those cams. Sittin in a box. Along w/. other parts.

 

my best advice would be to tune your truck and get some longtube headers....just to start off ur way 2 your goal...

 

^^^^. I'm with him. Get your exhaust, tune, CAI. Then get a stall (Yank TT 3000) and a shift kit (Trans Go HD-2) and of course retune for the shift points and line pressures. Lastly get your cam, pushrods, and valve springs. Since you still want good towing capabilities try to keep the duration around 220 and below unless you find one the suits your needs.

 

We have a couple of Civis around here that run mid to high elevens! You would never know it by looking at them.

 

^^^ haha i know ive taken some before but this one was different, haha i guess the stickers were right hahaha

Im getting a tune in august when BB comes to NJ, for the intake im gonna do a true cold air with the custom spectre intake, exhaust im just gonna do cat back for now but ill consider headers.

 

Yeah sounds like some gears and a tune would have solved your problem.. I have my tune set up to where the truck will still kick down to 2nd up to 70mph. This allows me to pull the top of second before it shifts into 3rd. Normally around 55-70mph it kicks down only to 3rd causing it to lug..

 

I have 4:10s, that seems to be the gears that people are after here

 

ive done the same thing,, except i picked on a turboed civic and he hate my lunch on the interstate... we pulled over at a gas station and talked for awhile. cool guys, he just kept cracking the sleeves or something so he gave up and got a streetbike.
