Default Future mods...

Well I just bought my new motor been driving it, may be a lil faster than before but it still isnt enough. Here is my future mod list, if you have any suggestions just tell me. Also these are rough estimates for prices, they can fluctuate from time to time so theses are just estimates

VT stage 2 heads PI with stage 2 cams $2500
FRPP 3.73 gears $180
BBK LT headers ceramic coated $500
BBK shorty off road x-pipe $170
SLP LM1 cat(no cat) back $500

total 3600 to 4000 roughly, also going to have a shop install these and wonder how much installation will be for all of this?

Any power thoughts, also what would my compression be roughly with my car being a non-pi motor?

what kind of motor did you get? if it's a built block, then a huge shot of nitrous, or a big blower should be at the top of that list.

Assuming your talking about your "new motor" being a stock PI setup, or even a NPI one, you can either spend 4K on making 310ish WHP n/a or you can get a blower and make 360+. Heads/cams ftl unless you can afford a aftermarket shortblock.

You are looking at about 2K for labor isa guess estimate which would include a tune for all your parts mentioned above.
