What do you think, guys? Check out that wicked pinch at Cyl #1. Do I need headers? I can get SSAutochrome ones for like, 180 shipped.

Traction control throttle body. Can I just take the traction control unit off? Or do I have to get like, a whole non traction control throttle body thing? Maybe just remove the tc butterfly?
