Should I notice a difference?

Well I guess I am getting Jumpy, Giving and getting the final parts together to get my new engine back in the van. I got headers and 3.5 exhaust, Working on a cold air ram. New pump, injectors. I am wondering what anyone thinks about the difference with mods compared to 200k stock motor.
Thanks

Re: Should I notice a difference?

Is this a NA engine? Where did you get the headers from?

Without a turbo, I would not worry about a 200k engine.
Your mods should improve the engine, but without 12lbs of turbo pressure, it will not stress the engine.

Re: Should I notice a difference?

It depends on how worn out your stock injectors/injector pump are. Were they factory originals? If so I think you'll notice quite a bit of difference I think, but I haven't dealt with NA motors much.
Pudman- he wasn't asking if the above mentioned mods will be harmful to his motor, but rather whether or not a difference in power would be noticeable. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img]
