Fun weekend, need advice though
Well this weekend, went to the track, everyone was looking at the 2.1 under the hood, i got the "nice ride", "how much did it cost and how much did you gain". then some arrogant 19 year old comes over "my gt500 could take you, even with that" some 19 year old whose daddy bought him the shelby gt500, hes out there running with usual stuff, exhaust, cai street tires. so i line up, light goes green and he saw my rear end the entire way. but i only got him by 3/4 of a car lenth at best so here is my question:
since im F/I, i never installed lt's. how much power can i gain from this and what other mods can i do. ive done heads, cams, suspension, tb + plenum, exhaust, powerpipe, gears, tranny upgrades. besides running something like 100 octane tune, what else can be done? or am i modded out

Long tubes would be good since like you said you basically have evrything else. BBK is what I have. I love them and they fit real good. At that HP though I would be scared everytime I got into boost. 400-450whp isusually MAX for a 4.6 bottom end. I would start saving up for forgerd internals. Get some pics!

yeah they told me if i come back, i need some 6 point cage or some sh*t. but i dont want to lose my back seats im really tempted to sell the car now.. i mean on 100 octane ill be near 600 hp probably, but imagine where id be with a 3 valve. i know from using the search button, lt's installed on an auto are a pita, but its about all i have left to do.
