Default What Else??

What other little things can I do to the car to help increase its HP. Right now I have a intake, exhaust and throttle body. I'm ordering today a MGW shifter, x-pipe no cats, underdrive pullies, lower thermostat. Last night I raced a GTP one of my buddies and he has quite a bit of mods done to his and i only had him by half a car. all he has to do is drop a pulley size and smoke me. I need to know what other things to do that these cars really get HP from, except nitrous or a supercharger.

You're not gonna get serious horsepower unless you do nitrous or forced induction. At least not cheap. You could go for some ported heads, intake, and cams. That would get you something, but it'd still probably be cheaper to go with nitrous. I don't know too much about that yet, but i'm sure someone else can help you out.

The problem with horsepower is that its not cheap! But it is worth it

Low tube headers and a tuner will change your life. But yeah i have every little bolt on mod there is and im still not that fast. Im no GTO killer thats for sure. If you want really fast (and fast to me starts at 500 to 600 hp) then you need to weigh the follwing options: Heads & Cams, N20, Forced induction, just buy a damn terminator cobra)
