Question need some ideas

wanna get her to go faster of course, mods listed in sig. anyone have ANY ideas as to what i could do next as far as minor/bolt ons go? these are on my soon todo list:

flywheel+clutch
electric water pump
short shifter

anything else at all? Suspension isnt really important to me...i dont really race i just like to feel the power. for me the cons of cams outweight the pros....so anything else? or am i just left with spray/supercharger/R6/termi options?

udp's, headers and that will give you about 20-25 horses.

yea, i already got the udps....wow thanks man i just realized its not in my sig.

im really upset about headers though, i got a midpipe(first mod) so if i got headers i would want them to be legal (jba meduim length or whatever). which would mean i would have to get a new, shorter mid pipe too. thanks for the input though. it really pisses me off about the headers....i wish i wouldve known!!!

any other ideas...?

I don't think you'd see 20-25 hp at the crank on most setups. If you want to go faster yank the sub, amp and box. I don't think headers are going to help THAT much but if you want them but don't want to change the midpipe, go with shorties

idk why ur against suspension lol even if you're not a track driver its still good to have, you could always go new heads/cams... or even a 4v swap.

If not F/I FTW

yea shorties are an option....i just like kicking around ideas on here to get a good plan in my head.

i didnt mean i was against upgrading suspension, just that its not a priority of mine. im not really sure which route i wanna go, its been bugging me for months now. so i'll post something like this every once ina while- just to kick around ideas.

thanks guys. just trying to make sure im not missing any 'bolt ons' i could be doing

thats really a good idea...i wish i didnt just LOVE the way this sub hits!!!! otherwise I'd take that out, back seats, spare, jack, etc...

that sub, box and amp weighs about 150-200pounds and its using the spare as a base of support(altough i dunno if that makes sense or not now that im repeating it).
