Just do it... here is one example of a step core.. jeez "O" petes... you already have a DP.... usually it's the other way around... lol...

P.s. on the charger... you really only need a 6-8amp charger... charge the battery full and keep it on and then flash... Probably go with this one since homedepot is right down the street...
For $300 seems like a steal...better throttle response is a good thing. Figure, upgrading the FMIC would give me bragging rights as well and give me another project to do. Like I said, Intake is not worth it and an exhaust might not give me the sound I like ( I like the sound now with the DP), so, I can never be the "cool" guy with FBO.

BTW..I love the DP..it's almost like I can breathe with it. Such a huge improvement in sound.

As for the charger--I have a 10 amp charger but was planning on hooking up another car with jumpers. You think my slow charger 10 amp guy would be sufficient?
