I have an intake, exhaust...is there something that I can do to pep my car a little? It just doesnt seem to be getting the gains it should given the mods I have. PLS HELP. Thanks

More than likely this will take care of the hesitation. If that doesn't work, tighten your throttle cable, unless you have an '03 because they don't have'em. Hope that helps.

BG induction cleaning should do the trick, at least it worked for me on my 00.
