a few questions on p&p uim and lim and about flywheels

[flyinfreak]

Ok here are quite a few questions about these products. I have looked around at the street arsenal site. Looks very intriguing to P&P the uim and lim for the hp gain that you can get for not too much. Now here come the Questions.

1. Do have have to send in the Lim and Uim to get them P&P'd?? Because i can't just not send them in b/c i need them.

2. Does the poweder coating add any performance ect. for how much more money they are, are they worth it?

3. Does the price on the site include the refunable core charge?

4. If i have to send in those parts(which i can't) where could i go to find a place that P&P's Uim and Lim's??? B/c i neeeeed my car. I can't wait for a whole week or so. The max is 1 weekend.

5. (the final one) Where can i get a flywheel that can improve performance? One of those lighter ones that i see on speedvision. They give like 4-5 hp or soo... or am i just dreaming??

If i'm going to get them it shouldn't cost too much for the gain in HP. round 30 or so to the wheel i'm guessing. with the Uim, Lim, flywheel, and maybe TB.???? Maybe 1K w/ installation????? and bring my baby up to round' 205Hp and 230 ft lbs?


Ok i'm rambling now. thx for any help at all guys/gals

1. I believe its a whole new unit they send you
2. Its for looks and also keeps the manifold cooler
3. No it doesnt include the core (ie. UIM is $175 all together, so you send in $275 and when you send your old UIM to them they will send a $100 check back)
4. Wont really apply to you, but I will say this...... it is MUCH cheaper to have it p&p by a local performance shop
5. You have an auto.........there is no flywheel
You wont get 30hp at the wheels, there isnt much to port off the 3400 manifolds. Probably only 10hp at the wheels.

Technically he does have a flywheel. Its just called a Flexplate and its just a light flywheel. Some people still call is a flywheel.

Hmm.. only 10 eh? doesn't seem worth it now. what about if i get piston heads??? lol.. now i'm getting all expensive. but i really don't get the "conversion" from flywheel power to, to the wheel power. why is it soooo much different? I know why it's different but why is it like a 1/3 to more cut in power from the flywheel to the wheels w/ mods?

it would prolly be cheaper to swap a GTP engine in there rather than pistons and such. you are prolly looking at raising the compression since you dont have any boost or nitrous. Doubt anyone makes the pistons at this moment. it wont add much either, staying all motor is expensive and hard to get lots of gains from it. adding boost or nitrous is the cheaper way of doing but it can be dangerous if you are not carefull.
