Default More performance questions?

alright, i just ordered 3.73 gears for the rear end, a off road bbk x-pipe, a bbk cold air intake, and bbk underdrive pulleys, i was wondering what else i could order to get some more power, but for a decent price. i was thinking new throttle body and new intake plenum, what else would be some good suggestions?

Your gonna need a speedo recal or tuner to re-calibrate your speedo after installing the gears. I would go with the tuner. Theres alot more you can do with it. Get steeda pulleys instead of the BBK. Steeda are non piggyback, BBK are piggyback, which = bad choice for pulleys. You can get a nitrious kit for about 500. Alot less than a s/c. Also get some d/r`s, gonna need em for traction. Also a short throw shifter. Youll be happy with that but will still want to do more. Mods for a car just never seem to end.

Get the accufab setup they've got the best results so far out of all the brands and they look the best IMO. Also grab a SCT 2 tuner for the gears and you'll be set.

alright nevermind i know what your talking about, i was thinking of going with all bbk, with a 75mm, i've been told it works best with aftermarket intake and new plenum.

he was refering to the TB and plenum, accufab is by far the best for this, however very pricy

i would go with a tuner, tb/plenum, and sum DRs
