My car is sick...

I have the mods in the sig and this thing isn't going anywhere. I know I need a proper chip installed but there is still to much power missing for that to be the only thing wrong. I was thinking maybe I need better heads with bigger runners to support higher RPm performance. I really don't know.

Are you kidding? I don't see how that thing even runs on a stock chip.

If the car is computer controlled and the computer doesn't know what to do with what's in the car. I can see it running like crap. ECU configuration is everything in a car. Get a new chip or make your own and I would bet on it behaving like a totally different car.

Okay,Okay, I know I'm slacking off on the ol' ECM and such. Just been waiting on my friend to pay half on a chip burner with me. This was already my next planned mod but what are you opinions on the heads?
