Im looking at getting a better take off because my ute is a bit sluggish off the line but is great after 2500rpm. It has a el tickford head with tickford cam and is shaved ect. I have pasemaker extractors and a 2.5 hi flow cat with a full 2.5in exhaust. What are some good mods that can be done to achive better take off.
Cheers doey

Diff gears...
A set of 4.11's will improve take off...
Also, if it's auto, get a hi stall convertor..
2800-3200rpm will be a big improvement too..

Desire isn't driven by the heart, the mind or the wallet. Desire comes from another place. It's created by the smell of burnt fuel under full throttle and the look a car gives you when you're washing it alone at night...

It is a manual. Would a bigger throttle body and cold air intake help? Would that increase fuel economy?

Being manual, 3.7s or 3.9s. You might find 4.11s a little short with 1st gear.

Or try a EA T5 with a shorter 1st gear.
