Like over in "Drivetrains" I've got a '95 Pontiac Sunfire wi th close to 70K on it. Just looking for some suggestions to make her go a little faster. Someone suggested a cold air kit. Another said combine that with a header. Just would like some feedback before it gets to chilly out! Thanks.

For those small engines with little after market support all you really get is a lower restriction air box and some headers. And in regards to your other post bigger rims will SIGNIFICANTLY slow down it's acceleration between weight and diameter. I read an article about a Civic, I think it ran a quarter in the high fourteens with stock 14" rims, they bolted 15",16",17" & 18" rims to it and the 15" didn't effect it much but it got progressively slower with the bigger rims, I think the 18" ones knocked it down into the Seventeens. So my advice is that if you put big rims on it don't bother wasting any money on engine upgrades that probably won't make it as fast as a stock engine with 14" rims.
