S1'* don't have the manufacturing problem the S2 manifolds did. They're a good shape. I gave a set to the big Installers/PEM guys in MN, and he couldn't find anything to do to them.

I think it would help out your other mods at least. I think they say look for a 5hp gain with stock. So, with yours it might add a good 10, or something like that. The more supporting little mods you do, the quicker its going to add up in total HP and TQ.

You could have your heads P&P'ed and blower ported(to reduce outlet temps)?
And you can easily change to a higher stall torque converter with the engine out.

About how much does it cost to have the heads and */C P&P'd?


I was looking at tranny parts also....and may do them at a later date, with the exception of the TC.....I will definantly have to go with the High Stall TC.

I think that maybe more setup to act as a KR combatant. But I have thought about something like that....but before I get into that aspect of it all, I wanna have the main stuff done before I get into that type of stuff....If that makes any sense. I will be working with SSEi95 with him on his car, so his knowledge will help me immensly as well as mine will him.

Well, there is always Naws. Headers, pushrods to compliment your add ons. I cant think of anything else besides upgrading your SC. Go M112!!

Can the M112 go onto a S1? I haven't read much into that yet. I was figuring I should do the pushrods as a supporting mod to the Camshaft.

Yea, I would, well actually I am so that answers that question for me, lol. I think a new timing chain would be helpful as well, but im not sure since your SC. As far as the M112 goes, its possible, but I dont know whats involved. Anything is possible with the right amount of money!

What about an Intercooler? Maybe throw in a tranny, oil, and new radiator to really keep things cool under there?
