dont change speedo let it go it being auto matic is great put a performance chip in it a performance mass air flow or if its carb change the jets in the carb too hotter ones so it burns cleanerand run better you can put a shift kit in the trans if you like thats all up tp u run hotter plugs tear the heads off have them fly cut to the max bolt them back on and hang on

Try:
1. Posting a new thread on this subject.
2. please tell us exactly all the modifications you already have done to the engine (camshaft?, intake?, heads? etc)

Re: A lil help with my car

Depending on the car if you want to convert the instruments you may need a new instrument cluster, personally i dont think this is not what you should be worrying about right now, i would be trying to tune up the car and start bolting on some mods. start with sompthing simple like a air intake.
