Question
hello again,

sorry to waste your time, do you have any idea how much dual exhaust would cost? and do you know if upgrade spark plugs and electrical wires would do anything?

thanks

Answer
AS far as the spark plugs and wires go.  Replacing the originals with new  parts is bound to help performance, though you won't feel it in the seat. I don't think it's going to make any difference if you buy the super high performance wires, They're made to work under extremes of heat and vibration which isn't going to happen under a stock hood.

As to the cost of the exhause conversion. you will get a more accurate answer from Summit Racing  in Akron, Ohio
I could only guess at around $500.00

Good luck

Experience

I have been racing for 20 years, I have been the Central Florida SCCA Regional Championship points for 5 years running, and won the championship in my class 2 times. During my first start in the 60's I won many solo awards and the State Championship Drags. I serve as a senior instructor for SCCA, and have taught in Mercedes AMG events at Daytona, and Dodge Viper Days at Sebring International. I have been in the thick of the competition for all of my career. At one time or another I have driven race cars at speeds nearing 195 MPH. It's quite a ride !
