Suggestions for quick easy power?

I was thinking 91 cams, new plugs and wires. Maybe headers...i dunno, i havent heard too much about headers as far as power and tq goes. And maybe a new intake? Right now im runnin the stock tubing with a K&N panel filter and remover intake silencer box. And does anyone think Nology hotwires are worth the money?

Wires won't add HP. it's a Header, not headers. 91 cams will add 8-10 hp, yes. Header will kill torque in the lower rpm's but rip open in the upper rpm's. Intake is a good mod too.

None of those are really quick and easy, but all good basic mods.

i figured. the wires i have now are so terribly ****ty, ill get a much better spark with nology wires and new plugs. im looking for 91 cams. how hard of a mod is that to do? sorry, header, is it worth the tq loss in the bottom end for the HP gains in the top end?

well, seeing as the KA has almost NO upper end in the first place, a header might do you some good. A friend of mine recommended a Sun Auto "MR" Hyper voltage system. That plus your nology wires and you're looking at serious sparks.

ya im going to purchase some hyper groud wires soon. would the ground wires and nology or aurora wires get me power? or would it have to be the Sun Hyper Voltage system? Because the Sun has like another unit to it, im not sure what it does though..

I'm talking about the Hyper voltage system. I guess it stabilizes the electrical components same way that a grounding kit would do but, even better. or something like that. Either way, try and combine the voltage system w/ multiple grounds and hotwires. you'll be happy.

btw, you can go to a stereo shop and make yourself some multi-grounds instead of forking over $100 or more.

You won't feel much of a difference with the grounding kit+wires, if any at all

you could get a lot more power out of different cams the 91s arent that good go to www.pdm-racing.com i think thats the site but they have some good cams.

yeah i know PDM makes better cams, but if i can find the 91's in a junkyard, then its much cheaper.

Well 91 cams are good enough for the S14. I've seen a big boost in power from switching to 91 cams and such.
