New to Bonneville's, what are some performance parts?
#11
Scott, 1 thing I would like to know is how you jack up the back of the SSEi like you do at the track? And, is there a way to trick the automatic leveling into raising up all the way for the track? Thanks.
Hope this helps.

Do you know where I can get the Jet chip, and what does it do? (Shiftpoints, Governor, Fuel Tables, etc..) It is also nice to know that the GP fan switches will work.
The only way to mod the computer is with a custom burn or you can ship it off to ASEchips in California and they will reprogram it. Only +9 hp. but it does remove the limiters.
The GP Caspers fan switch will not work on the 2000+ Bonnie'* either. Different wiring harness.

Just remove the left rear tire and you'll see the load leveling system actuating lever. Use a 10mm. wrench to loosen the fastener, and rotate the lever all the way forward. Your car will think you've got an INTENSE Race Engine in the trunk and jack up the rear end for you.
Hope this helps.

Are you sure this works for a 2000 model ?

SSEi and GTP mods
You can use almost all of the drive train mods for the GTP on the SSEi. I have 2001 GTP and a 2002 SSEi. My SSEi has
Thrasher CAI - this is for GTP and needs to be cut to fit different shape of the engine bay.
Thrasher 3.25 Pulley - all the smaller pulleys and pulley systems should fit SSEi.
Thrasher./TOG Headers - this will bolt right on along with flex pipe. However, you will need the dip stick tube/indicator from a 1997 GTP (year specific). Thanks - Scott Cook!!!
SLP Rockers and Pushrods - these will go right in, like the Intense rockers/rods. My decision to go with SLP rockers was in part based on installation and warranty reasons. SLP is only a hour or so from my house. The intense rockers give you a extra degree of lift (1.8 vs 1.9). Scott was also the first vendor to offer this product for the 3800SC - so your purchase rewards his investment and fuels continued innovation!

The SLP intake should fit without modification. This is similar in size and shape to stock airbox on GTP/SSEi with cone filter inside.
You can also check out bonnevilleattitude and domestic performance for CAI made specifically for the Bonneville - plus a ram air hood! They also offer loweing springs, big brakes (13" front and 12" rear), plus konni adjustable struts for the Bonneville.

Headers and Rockers
I would highly recomend a set of headers. This made a hugh different in my car throughout the powerband - especially with the 3.25 Pulley. The SSEi does not have a ubend and the rest of the exhaust is pretty free flowing. The TOG Headers with flexpipe (in place) of down pipe should really open you up.
I am surprized you are seeing so much KR with just 3.4 pulley. I put one on a week or two after getting the car, and didn't notice any weakness up top. I haven't autotyped the car, so can't back that up with any numbers.
I put my rockers and pushrods in after doing headers/flexpipe, CAI, and 3.25 pulley. The rockers gave me even more top end pull, plus the engine is now much smoother and freer reving. I think the lightweight pushrods and roller arms really made the difference. What are specs on I-win rockers?

DHP will do a custom programming for the SSEi. I believe Scott Cook is using a custom DHP chip.
