Question Decisions Decisions

Ok some of you may think im stupid for having difficulties deciding this, but i want your honest opinions.

do you think i should. buy the NSC Engine dampner now and be able to install it myself.

or

wait another 2 weeks and buy a pulley and have it installed proffesionally, but wait till then to get my timing belt done instead of this week, that way i can have it all done in one go.



sorry if this seems stupid, but i want opinions, mostly on whether the timing belt can wait,. keep in mind it is squealing at 5,000 revs.

Well, I would go with the timing belt install, thats important. How many miles do you have on your car anyways? How are your PS and Alternator belts holding up?

I would save and get the Piggyback i just installed mine today and I'm so pleased with it. It's simply amazing how much power it adds.

You haven't done enough mods to justify a damper, I mean all you've done is an intake, right? Plan B bro, alll the way

So you are pretty much stock, so stock engine mounts would be ok for now. If you are'nt saving for piggy, or something expensive like that, do the crank pulley. I swear on my childeren, if I had any, you will feel the difference with just that mod. Just read the reviews, they are all 100% true. Crank Pulley Rocks

yea, the crank pulley is infact awsome. I've seen one of the ralliarts with it on it compared to stock and it kicks axx so It should be a pretty awsome install for ya'lls engines, I'd say plan B Crypto

ok cool.

the only reason i want the dampner is for the smoother shifting, cos mines an auto and shifts like crap.

Make that your next mod then, it's affordable, I just don't know that it would be worth it until you do some more mods. Although, Now that I think about it, it might be smart to get that before the onslaught of mods rather than after. Might save you some minor problems from vibrations, and give you the max benefit of the mods. Sorry Crypto, I'm confused now, damper might be smart to throw on first and it's cheaper and you could DIY. Hmmm (enter thread name here)

Either way you look at it, you're gonna end up getting one of these products. The Damper will benefit you cause you are AUTO. Piggyback as well, as for power and fuel efficiency. GO int he sales thread and buy a used piggy and then get the damper. You can get both for the same price as buying a "brand new" PB by itself.

make smart moves and save yourself some money.

That's how I've gotten 70% of my parts.
