Default What I got for 2000 bucks

ya, all that Bank$ $tuff i$ nice and all but a little pricey IMHO for the minimal re$ult$ gained.

i would have dropped the coin on a good converter and a valve body before i $pent my hard earned money on anything Bank$.... but that is my bia$ed opinion

it is ea$ier to upgrade part$ that you know will fail, before they fail, then to have downtime when they do fail and have no money left over becau$e you $pent it on part$ that cau$ed it to fail......

with a $tock Auto it isn't a matter of "IF" but when it will fail

That stuff is not going to help right now BUT when you get a turbo and injectors and a Smarty then that stuff will make a difference! Did you get a cold air intake and open the exhaust up? Your buying out of order right now!

You have my sympathy. You wasted $2k on junk that wasn't needed and isn't much better than stock.

Live and learn.
