hidden power questions
hey guys got a few questions for anyone that wants to give me some good input. im a full bolt on gt, 4.10's, sct tune and ive been trying to figure out some hidden ways to find a little extra power. ive removed my front sway bar, have both sets of control arms, and took out my spare tire for weight reduction. i dont want to remove my seats or anything so im thinking my weight reduction is done. in just a couple weeks ill be getting some subframe connectors. if anyone has any little tricks up there sleeves lemme hear em. im open to any reasonable suggestion. and my budget is very low but im still open to ideas for the future.
thanks,
kyle

Do like I have told you many of times, save up a little bit of money and get cams and then a stall you will kill lance with those lol. That really is about all you can do unless you spray it or put a blower on it.

low budget guys, those are down the road. nothing big right now, i want to make the most power and get the best performance out of what ive got.
and evan lance is the least of my worries.. id rather lose to lance then certain other people who are around here.

Lol. There really is nothing cheap left for you to do. You can find a set of used cams for around 400 and 200 for valve springs so around 600 is about the cheapest you will get. Who are you trying to beat around here?

you could degree your stock cams. If you only buy the adjustable timing gears and gaskets and degree them yourself that wouldn't be really too hard. You could advance the cams maybe a degree too, the advanced ICL would really help mid range power. Be careful not to advance it too much or there could be PTV issues and the exhaust center lines would be messed up. At that point you might as well get some CMS stage 2's and get a nice 30-40 rwhp boost... haha
