    my car revs to slow

    what can i do to make my car rev faster?? some one was telling me a beefed up ignition system would help me out alot. all i have are plug wires and nice plugs. he told me to get a blaster coil, get new ground wires, and run some motor cleaner. i think i might need a motor vac to get all the carp that i know has built up out im sure it is not helping things much.

    well... if you want real fast revs... get your flywheel shaved or get one online that has been lightened....
    but if you get this, you will need to learn to shift real quick

    you might as well replace/upgrade the clutch if you are down there..

    anyway as for shifting quick you need to remember that teh more you shave off, the quicker it will rev, but the quicker it will drop as well, and it will be really important that you can rev match unles you like changing trannies and ruining synchros...

    what i have found is that MODS help me rev faster... lol... i would say get some headers and a cam... and webers... then you will like how fast your car revs :P

    i would just buy the mods.. you WILL rev faster, and it might not be worth it to shave the flywheel. other than being kind of expensive, i am not sure i would even want to in the first place!

    yeah thats what i am saying. you take them the flywheel and it will still cost $300-400 i would guess.. but i am not absolutly sure. i know they cost like $350 for aftermarket flywheels. so why would a custom job be any cheaper? that DOES NOT INCLUDE THE LABOR. i doubt you could con them into taking apart your tranny to get the flywheel, but be sure you would pay out the ass to do so! just go to the junkyard and find something to take to them!
