Definitely get gears and a tune. Will make a huge difference, will feel like a totally different car off the line.

you guys saying to get gears don't even have a terminator. the termie has 3.55's stock plenty steep. as it is you can hook in 1 and 2 if you just juice it. there are far better mods for a terminator to start off with. such as a pulley tune, intake etc.

if you want to be in the high hp range go right for a twin screw blower.

I agree. I dont own a termi but the gears r good enough for starters. I would just go with a smaller pulley, maybe an O/R H, CAI and a tune. you'll make some pretty good numbers with that.

Yea, would a smaller pulley, and CAI was going to be the first few things. What would be the HP gain on it.

to give you an idea, grantrf all cars respond differently, i started at 371hp then added the CAI and a 2.76 pulley with all the idlers and and it tuned and the result was 443. so for me it was a 72rwhp gain.

i reccomend getting a dyno tune. find out what software your local tuner uses and get that hand held and have them set you up with a tune.
