Default What Next Guys??

Okay so far my car has 3.73 gears and a SLP LM II, Where to next for more power; what you all think would give me noticable gains for RELATIVLY inexpencive... Yes that means excluding Heads or a cam sorry [&:] Im really short on monies about now...

So what do you all think intake MAF and Tb? Or Maybe a H-pipe...

BTW I LOVE MY SLP LOUDMOUTH II's... Ask vigcs they are REALLY deep and agressive they sound awesome, I will post a sound clip tomorrow probably...

If you don't have emissions, remove the smog pump, add off road H and maybe some underdrives...

Finish your exhaust and do you intake next if your budget is limited.

i'd say.. some nice bbk headers.. and.. an x-pipe or h-pipe.. and then some gears.


nevermind.. ll.. did see you already had gears.. so.. instead of gears.. do underdrive pulleys.

Before you get too carried away with power, make some mods to the chassis/suspension.

Some rear control arms will help the car handle better.
Are you a straight line or curvy guy?


Subframes are required, especially with those gears hooking up.
Some torque box reinforcements are not a bad idea either.

Strut tower brace, and lower k-member brace


Power is great, if you can control it.

Removing the smog pump yields more of an increase from the drop in weight, than from the drag. Maybe 5hp on a dyno.
The underdrive pulleys won't do much better.

In reality a h/c/i will get you the most power. I would keep saving up the pennies for that.
