well i first started out with putting in a catback exhaust system. this will add anywhere from 10-30hp if done right. then u can get headers which will add another 10-20hp, cold-air intake 5-15hp, manifold 20hp, flywheel 20-30 hp, racing pulleys 20-30 hp, injectors, fuel pump upgrade, racing axels, short shifter w/performance clutch. its really all about wat u want and how much u willing to spend. also u can check out these forms and learn even more about wat u can do with ur pro. let me know how its goin!!! :bt:

The ONLY thing that will get rid of the 118 MPH governor is the SCT flasher which is being developed for the MZ3 as I type this. No idea when the release date is though.

these numbers are SO far off it's scary. Secondly, half of the parts you mentioned dont even exsist yet for a 3.

my advice. Obay your posted speedlimits. there is no need to go over 118mph and no'one here is impressed if you go faster. :thumbs do

^^what he said.
We're up to 145 hp, potentially, with those mods? :rofl:

Not only that, none of the parts he lists will get rid of the top speed governor anyway. :cookoo:

well....i've seen automatic proteges hit a wall at 112mph and they added the obx header and got an extra 8-10mph out of it...I've seen it first hand. I think it is more load/gear based than mph/gear.....it may even be rpm/gear based....i know some of the cars I've driven will reach top speed in 4th so when you shift into 5th you can't go any faster.

macdaddyslomo May-3rd-2005 12:07 PM

I didnt know a flywheel made hp ??

let him go faster than 118 guys...that way there will be one less idiot in the world !! :bt:

Jackelope May-3rd-2005 12:37 PM

I got my '03 up to 117, of course it was downhill...

Flywheels don't make horse power they give you more usable hp. Your engine puts out 160 at the crank but only makes around 130 at the wheels. A light weight flywheel will give you more usable wheel horse power.

I'm sure macdaddy was being facetious....

macdaddyslomo May-4th-2005 09:45 AM

thanks there Kargo...at least someone can "get" text...hard to show tone...Man I wish my engine put out 160 at the crank !

RedBlaze May-4th-2005 02:16 PM

Your right Roddimus Prime but just knowing that i can go faster than most m3's is just pretty cool oh is mac daddy fella always that stupid???

Roddimus Prime May-4th-2005 02:19 PM

probably not a good start to call your fellow forum super-mod "stupid". He's one of the smartest guys we've got.

you should stick around for a while before calling people names.

RedBlaze May-4th-2005 02:23 PM

He the smart one??? Well i guess your right.... I apologize Mr. Mac
