Whatever the next piece is that connects what the guy before me wants to the exhaust. I'm not too sure what it looks like.

So if that info is right they are slightly better? Now I'm really confused. But from the responses I've gotten there's no point in pulling the ones from the TGP engine in the JY.

Someone on a beretta forum was saying they were stonger but I didn't really trust the source. Now there's no need to go tear down the TGP that just came to the JY. It's got 104K but the engine looks to be in good shape. All the good stuff is gone except rear manifold and downpipe. I may go on half price day and pull them so they don't get crushed.

I thought I read somewhere that the TGP rods were stronger than other GM 3.1MPFI rods. Is this true?Any other engine parts that would be a slight upgrade from a N/A 3.1 motor?

I wouldn't mind seeing the other in person.

 :icon_rolleyes:  You listed 5 runs of wire. 2 of them which are runs for the amp. Which would give you the 3 that people don't usually upgrade hence the name the big 3. You can upgrade your amp wiring, but that's just your amps wiring....

I saw that video somewhere before and I remember it being an F1. If I was rich I'd have one of those in my garage.  :icon_biggrin:

I must admit the camaro looks A LOT better in red than it did the silver I've seen eveyrwhere including in person at the auto show. The challeneger is a pretty bad ass ride too, Can't wait to see the price tag.

No it IS 3. The battery to the amp and amp to chassis is your amp wiring which if you have a system will already be installed.  A LOT of people don't add on to the rest of the wiring, hence the name the big 3.

Why is it so famous?!?! How can you expect those crappy small stock wires to get the right amount of power to your amp and battery when the power wire from the amp is bigger than the stock wires? Go take a look at the wires coming off your alternator and tell me their any good if you have a system?

Naperville is a few towns over from me I may wait to see the other one though.

How is having an isolator gonna change the fact that the alternator still has to charge both the batteries? It still has to do it and just wastes power. Upgrading to big three will really help the most.
kenitik and audio-force are also great batteries to use they pop up at competitions a lot.

If you upgrade the big three on your car you won't need a cap at all. If you don't know what I mean it's the wiring under the hood. The stock wring on the 3.1 is horrible. Throw some 0 gauge on and you'll see a huge difference. You only really need the cap if your doing all out Sound Quality competitions.There's nothing wrong with having 2 batteries, it will hekp if you have a lack of power system. So if say for example your headlights dim when the bass hits then thigns like a CAP is just a band aid. Upgrading your battery and wiring, and even alternator is the BEST thing to do for your system.

So what I would recommend for our original poster is get a bigger battery, do the big three upgrade, and then see if you really need more power.  And yes there are infact high output alternators for your cars. I did a simple search from motor city reman on ebay and came up with these results.

If you need more power after that then you got some serious stuff in the trunk.  :icon_mrgreen:

Here's a link to what the big three upgrade is incase anyoen doesn't know what it is. It's a beretta but same engines.

Yeah that's some good work and some good stuff which I'm sure sounds great but the fact still remains that an isolator isn't necessary at all in his application and that they are infact power wasters. Go to any quality car audio board and the pros will all tell you what I'm telling you.

Now about that CAP.... J/K I'm not going there.  :icon_biggrin:
