Ignition Systems

Product:   Spark Plug Wires
Engine:   All Engines
Horsepower Gain:   Slight gain with plugs also
Price:   $40 - $70
Comment:   Any low resistance wire (8-10 mm) will be an improvement over stock ! The Reccomended brands are Taylor, Mallory, Accel, and of course MSD.


Product:   Spark Plugs
Engine:   All Engines
Horsepower Gain:   Slight gain with wires also
Price:   $2-$4 a piece
Comment:   We highly recommend using either the AC Delco 'Rapidfire' or the Bosch 'Platinum' plug. The Splitfire plugs however do NOT justify the high costs.
NOTE: the Bosch platinum '4' melt when using nitrous. They can't handle the heat.


Performance Programmers

Product:   JET Performance Chips
Engine:   ALL engines, except 3800
Horsepower Gain:   22 hp (peak)
Price:   $150-$250 (about)
Comment:   The pre 94 can get replacement performance chips for their PCM, the 94-up 3.4 & engine can use a 'power module' that will alter motor management.
Some people experienced units that were faulty, but those who have a working module are usually happy with it, the price around $250 is too steep ...
NOTE: Does NOT remove the speed limiter.


Product:   Hypertech Power Programmer/Chips
Engine:   3.4 ltr, 3.8 ltr, and 5.7 ltr
Horsepower Gain:   16 HP
Price:   $350
Comment:   The HPP was available for the 3.4 But not anymore . You'll have to check our classifieds or Ebay for used HPP+'s An HPP III is available from Hypertech for 2000 - 2002 3.8L part #30009.
