Do supporting mods(CAI, headers, catback) and then some spray with all the safety precautions is your best bet...down the road cams wouldn't hurt either. The bolt-ons you can do yourself but you'll need help with the spray/cams. Also put some lower gears in the rear like 4.10's...your gas milege will take a turd but who cares, a 3500ish stall wouldn't hurt either. So do the bolt-ons, gears, stall, spray(dyno tune it so you don't gernade the motor)...and cams later on. Or just sell it and get a GT w/bolt-ons and cams
funny how 03yellowpony had 4.10s in his 6er and got better milage then my stocker, a 3500ish stall would be a bit to much for DD, dont trade it in on a GT or a motor swap unless you just want to go somewhat fast right out of the factory cause 2V motors suck for mods

check out supersixmotorsports.com or vmptuning.com
Really..well tell me how a motor spinning at a higher rpm because of the gears will get better gas mileage...because that's what happens when you throw lower gears in. 3500 stall isn't too much for a DD especially with a tune....might as well not waste your time/money with a stall if you get lower one. The GT comment was a joke...but thanks for critiquing my comment...you're 17 wtf do you know

gears with a pully CAI and exhaust will also help even out, im bone stock with the exception of a K&N filter

as for the GT comment prove me wrong, would you rather spend an extra 5k for low to mid 14s and 260HP or 3500 for low to mid 13s and 270ish rwhp

your an fbody owner what do you know

Dude dont give up like everyone says. I drive a sixer and I was going to purchase a GT but again I have to deal with all this finance crap which just isnt worth it. Superchargers run around 3 K and they will get you a lot of horsepower. I read somewhere that without a forced induction its possible to get 280 horses with just boltons.


Side question > Kinda dumb but yeah here it is > Is it possible to have a turbo and a supercharger at the same time?
