Default What to do next?

After I've done every mod I want to do that I could do other than gears which I'm gonna do, What should I do next? How much HP would each of these mods give me? What would give the biggest SOTF difference?, and how much HP do u think our stock injectors could take?

Thanx

How aboubt ditching the JBA and getting dome true duals, and leave the actual motor alone. UDP's are worth 5-10HP, the rest of the stuff does not really seem worth, by itself,on a stock motor. Gears and LSD, would be the best performancebang for the buck, as far as cheaper bolt-ons go.

How about a short shifter kit. There are a few kits out there (hurst is one) that are cheap and bolt on easy. under 300$! Also a Posi would be cheap if your messing with the gears already. (if you want you could get an 8.8 axel gt take off that would come with a posi and you could buy one with the gears or put them on before adding the new axel.) Ive heard that good shorty headers would be a good add on and it would be pretty easy. Of course new set of wheels and tires would be good. as far as the list goes. I would recomend the cam shaft upgrade, then the headers upgrade from your list.

If you have the money just go with the X-charger 4000.00 and you can install it yourself. Give Dave a call at Explorer Express, he may just give it to you free of shipping. The X-charger will give you close to 300hp, I think!

PS-read sig, it's an auto, no short shifter possibility! How much are camshafts and what are they worth HP wise? Also, UDP will run me $300, are they worth it in the low-end gains?
thanx

If it ws my car, I would skip the UDP and add true duals, not that duals would net you more power than UDP, but a good exhaust sysytem is a good basis for performance, present or future. Small bolt-ons may cost less one at a time, but look at it this way by time up due full bolts-ons the parts/labor would add up to the price of a supercharger. A good plan is needed to get where you want to go, and beside your mod list is nice as is, just enjoy the car. Opinion: Skip any kind of internal motor work, unless you get boost.

How much HP would I get if Iswitched from a single high flow muffler to duals with an H? What about to true duals? HP from UnderdrivePulleys? HP from camshaft? What other mods could I do next? Nothing over $500. Any suggestions? What's the next best mod for me for low end? I hear UDP's are the best for low end gains? What would a camshaft run me and where can I get it? Would go tireshelp a lot, If so what r ur suggestions and what would it runme?
Thanx ahead of time![sm=wootwoot.gif][sm=thanx.gif]
