Hey flip that pic you added for the header was great, as soon as I saw it I was like "ohhhh thats the header" major help. Ill be learning a little more as time goes by. But either way like I said before the tax check is coming soon so Ill have to read quick, hey Flip did you notice differences instantly when you added these things onto your car, like the header? (then the CAI?)
Ok two questions- a little more to the point.
I just read that when putting in the header for the G20t p11 (p11 is a 99 right?) That a smaller battery was needed? is this correct? and what did you do to alleviate this issue?
when advancing the timer, you had mentioned that you can do it safely up to 17 degrees, now what does advancing the timing do for your car? and what benefits or drawbacks do you get by doing it?
Also with all these installations, the header, the CAI, and the timing did you guys do this yourself? or do you go to a shop to get them done and usually whats the cost per installatiuon, I have no experience with engines and am worried that I wont be able to do it my self, thanks again guys.

ok- i think my new name is FLIP... like this? >
just kidding :sun:
but ok-
battery size: i have a p10 and i was worried i would have to bump down in size but i didn't have to. the battery tray DID need some trimming though because it wouldn't slide over enough to make room with the battery.
noticeable difference: i put the header on first, felt a difference yes. i put the CAI on two weeks later and felt and HEARD a difference. (the sound can be best described as a wart hog being trapped under your hood and it's trying to get out)
advanced timing: benefits- 2-3 hp. drawbacks- i don't think there are any.
installation: the only experience i had prior to getting these things put on my car was with car stereo stuff. a few guys locally REALLY helped me out with the installation of the header/cai/timing. mucho thanks to kyle/justin/chuck/eric down here in arizona!! they kinda did the work and i helped hold the light and unscrew the bolts that anyone else could have done.
cost for installation if you pay a shop: there is a shop down here and i think they were charging 65 bucks to install a header. i don't know what it will be in your area. i'm sure it depends on the mechanic's experience as well.
hope this helps...
good luck
