Default What can I do now??????

Ok guys, well since the mod list in my SIG...
I now have installed my
K&N CAI,BBK TB,BBK PLEN(i P&P'd them) and Steeda Underdrive Pulleys.

What can I do next for more power? WITHOUT heads, and cams.
I kind of want to wait until later down the road for that/put some more miles on these factory ones I have.

So what is next?

as you can see in my sig I have DR's, Gears and LC Arms.


the only other BOLT ON I can think of without heads/cams... is exhaust(headers, mid, catback)
is it worth it? how much will it help in the 1/4 mile...
I have just been trying to keep my stock exhaust (like it better that way people dont think my car is so "
POWERFULL" just b/c its louder/deeper then stock) but I guess now its time to do exhaust eh? bc I cant think of anymore bolt ons... besides heads,cams and of course p-51 intake which I do not want.

PLease let me know, help me out here.

Not sure if you have this because I don't see it, but a tune(r) would go nice with it... very nice...

deffinitly do some Longtube headers, mid pipe and cat-back, deffinitly it will help your plenum and TB actually be useful.

^Yes I believe I will order them. (mid pipe and cat back)

How much trouble were your BBK LT's to install?
I heard it's a BISH to install them on our cars.
OH Yeah I HAVE AN AUTO tranny too, so I don't even think I can put LT's on my car can I?

+1.. the guy that installed my exhaust let me know that some nice longtubes would add about 15rwhp and around 25 peak torque... even though he said that he'd rather see me spend my money on nitrous, haha.

The LT's the guy said costs a lil bit to install, because most mechanics will pull the engine a lil bit.. he said he charges flat rate of 300 for just the install.

yea i got my magnapack exhaust with my C&L intake and i noticed a welcomed jump to my ponies...nothing compared to a gear change but a change just the same. Magnapacks are nice they dont just yell and banter like slp (AHHHH AHHHHH!!!) they growl/pur and they dont go queit after a certain rpm like some flowmasters but w/e catback is a sound preference more or less as long as you get stainless steal tubing else youll need a new system in 4 years or less if they salt alot around your area. WOW what a run on. Like Aixtreme said defenitely get l/t headers and a shorty x/h midpipe. If there emmissions testing where you live get a catted mid pipe or find a friend who does state inspections, but remember gains from aftermarket catted to aftermarket offroad are not huge. Make sure when you get headers they are ceramic coated for temp purposes. This will defenitely do wonders for your 1/4 mile time because an aftermarket t/b and plenum give very little gains on stock exhaust compared to aftermarket, especially with a 75 mm.

After doing exhaust or if you decide not to do exhaust right now you could just get more suspension peices like upper control arms, make sure they are adjustable so you can adjust pinion angle for better traction. You could also get drag sprins since you seem to enjoy runs at the track. Drag springs with full exhaust and adjustable upper control arms should bring you into the low 13's...maybe...just maybe...if you're an awesome driver....high 12's
