they make one for the car, but from a lot of replys, it does not make it faster or more power to notice, and it does put your engine light on. we had one from e-bay could not tell the difference. exhaust with headers back and intake makes the biggest difference. You can change your alternator pulley and crank shaft pulley. Then if money permits Nos.
