If you don't want to bust the bank go with gears, mid-pipe, cat-back, throttle body/intake, a 91 or 93 octane tune and maybe under-drive pullies. That will usually get you into the 250-260 rwhp range for around $2200. If you want an extra punch but don't have the cash for a blower then nitrous is the way to go and is pretty safe if done correctly.

 

i know gt run around 260 stock but what are they pushing rwhp

 

i am looking at getting a jlt cold air intake

 

[sm=goodidea.gif] I have the JLT RAI on my car.. I like it.

 

Autos are usually in the 215 area and manuals get maybe 225 stock. Sometimes you get a factory freak that's 5 hp higher.

 

whats everyones opinion on exhuast. i have flows on my v6. i want it to sound mean

 

Yeah what I would do first is borla exhaust,K&N CAI,373 gears, that would be a good start or save up and get a procharger then do intervals then throw on n2o

First, you should do a little checking on your drivetrain and make sure you clutch, flywheel, u-joints, etc need some attention because you dont want to get into making much power to find you wasted your clutch or whatever and dont have $$$ to fix it. Then do exhaust and intake and get an Xcal 3 handheld and see if thats close to what you want. Then if thats still not enough, go with a nice stage 2 cam that will give you a little lope butstill remain driveableand maybe a nice little shot of "go juice". And if this isnt your daily driver, then you may want to get some ported heads and do a head and intake swap.

 

you can star with these mods then if your not happy with the power add a litlle more.
