My only mod is my gas filler bib. I did not want to mess with the car too much. Someday I might go wild and add a CAGS Eliminator or some sill decals!!!

C54TIM,

I put the C5 emblem decals on my wheel center caps............ I don't think the decals make my car go any faster though......

1999 White C5 Coupe

Almost forgot my C5 Flag tire valve stem caps! They look like they are good for as much extra power as the reverse osmosis nuclear fision electromagnetic ram diode trans zaino hi-po gizmoid water pump! That's right - I said fision. Fusion is an entirely seperate subject matter.

I only list Performance Mods: See Sig.

K&N filter, power duct, modified air lid, new MAF.

What do you think about the TB bypass? Will it effect the cooling of the engine and will it increase temps in the hot summer. I want to do this mod, but i want to make sure it will be ok for the summer. I have heard that the temp might increase, but I don't see why it would.
Thanks in advance.

Dan, I don't personally think that throttle body bypass is worth anything.

The only thing I would suggest is bypassing that mod..its from the same guy who thought up the timing tricker!

I hope you don't take offense!

Just trying to help..(and JMO)

JB

I thought I was listing performance mods Al.

BTW - Was today your 350 RWHP Dyno? I heard it was. News travels fast around these parts!

That's some big hp to the rear wheels in a :p California emission legal A4!!!

David .....LOL you kill me...LOL

DIDO what JB said!
Tim

I agree thats why I gave mine (never used it and still have another on ein the basement somewhere...freebies) to Fido. LOL Absoloutly a waste of time. LOL..

JBsC5,
No offense taken. That is why I asked, I want to know what everyone thinks. I have not done it. Thank you for your honest opinion. I have heard that it does not make a difference and that it does, so I want to know if anyone has done it.

I really need to update my site. I have the regular stuff, and hopefully by Feb. 5th I will have long tube TPIS headers and a Random Tech high-flow cat./X-pipe setup as well. Mmmm...and don't forget the supercharger coming in March.

Today, I'm adding my radiator support made of pure carbon fiber. It's not a lay-over or a covering on a core but a true complete piece of carbon fiber part. It's awesome. I'll get some pics posted up one way or another.


I have a few more areas of chrome that need attention and those pieces are on the way. My sig is still pretty much the same....

I'm going try that new Hurst shifter and see if it's any different, maybe it will allow me to get into fifth gear. Going to be a little time wait for it to arrive. Later, JA
