Mod questions on a stock 2001 SSEI
I have a stock SSEI with 66K and am considering a few light mods. I would like to add a little power without spending to much $$$ or hurting reliability. What are the best mods to consider.
Exhuast?
Pulley?
??
Thanks
Christian

Sorry for all the extra questions I am new to GM products?
Any ideas of power gains?
What is all the talk about U-bend deletes and downpipes?
Thanks

u-bend is a grand prix thing, you dont have to worr about that.
basically, as you start modding, anything you do will allow you to use maller and smaller pulleys.
if your completely stock, i would recommend nothing smaller than a 3.5" pulley, after the FWI (fenderwell intake) and 180* thermostat, you SHOULD be safe to run a 3.4"
i wouldnt recommend going any lower than the 3.4 without doing either rockers or a cam swap.
