The only thing you changed was your headers and you gained 20hp and 57tq? Rear wheel?

Yes sir! That was at the rear wheels. No changes in timing or anything. I already had a MRT catted h that i swapped for a BBK shorty catted h to fit the BBK long tubes, so i'm sure that didn't skew the numbers either.

since you plan on S/C if down the line I would say forget about the CIA. Depending on what S/C you get i would say 3.73's should be ok.

Something to remember is after you get a S/C your grip will decrease a ton, it may be a good idea to get some sticky tires.


The ideas above are all good, the STS, gears and a tune will be key. However, thinking ahead, I'd get a SCT3 tuner as many dynos tune with them over the other brands. Unless you plan on tuning yourself. In which case a WB sensor would be key in a proper tune.

gears, tune, mgw sts.

Gears, tune, lower control arms.

did any one not here him say he's planning on doing a supercharger? I don't disagree with any thing you guys have said so far..but I think he should do forged internals, I'm all for a CAI + tune, but if you have money left over you should forge it. Get a nice set of forged pistions, rods and a forged crank. You"ll be set for the boost.

When you say your car came with sfcs, are you talking about the stock ones? Or did the person before you put some on? If stock I would say 373s, sfcs and a tune.

Forging the internals is going to take a hell of a lot more money than $1k. 3.73's or 3.90's for the supercharger and then i would go with some lower control arms and just bank the rest of it to save for the blower or put it towards drag radials for when you get the blower.

+1 just the parts themselves for forging are gonna be over 1k easy. Gears i would go with 3.73s and get some suspension as mentioned. Your not gonna go anywhere fast if your just spinning the tires.

he dosnt have to do everything at once, im just saying.. he could get started on it maybe just pistons and rods or do the crank first
