Default Dev Kits Help

hey

I have an 1999 AU Forte and was looking at now getting performance enhancements....

was wondering for street performance which Kit is more suited to this AU??

am willing to spend between 2-3,000 also purchusing the new automatic transmission and high flow air intake - also wondering what chip is reccomended please

Maybe i am better off with a DEV1 kit for everyday driving??

also what kw does a standard AU like mine do at the rear wheels??

The Dev3 or Dev3HL seems to be a good choice for a daily driven street performance car. I'd prob say start with the Dev1 and if your insurance company isn't going to have a spew about a cam, then consider one of the other packages.

A Chip is prob best to be put in after all your other mods are done. However if you choose one like a chiptorque chip you can make the best out of its ability to remove your speed limiter.

Standard power output for your Forte is prob somewhere around 90-100rwkw at a guess.
