RE: Bottom End Performance Mods

[Bryan Billings <vwxcross@worldnet.att.net>]

The only bottom end that I know of is the supercharger.  I talked to the 
company Rimmer Engineering that installed the project GLX supercharger.  He 
said that the cam is a waste of money, it actually hurts performance when 
adding the supercharger.  You want bang for your buck go with the 
supercharger.  http://www.newdimensions.com/ND_Super.html
. It gives about 260-280 hp at the wheels.  It took a second and a half off 
0-60 for the white EC GLX. The throttle body may be good but it is 
expensive.  I have heard of people porting the stock one.  The guy at 
Rimmer showed me a stock header then an aftermarket.  Wow a big deference 
in diameter in the inside.  If you want this may be where you want to go if 
you don't have the cash.  Oh by the way they include a set of aftermatket 
headers with the supercharger.

What if any mods will contribute to the Bottom end power of the VR6? I
currently, have the modded airbox with Airbath, ND Stainless Exhaust, and
Chip.. I know the Shrick Manifold helps top end. Also what could I expect
from the mods that help bottom end?

Whats the opinion on the stock plug wires?
