ok..so....i have pretty much all the bolt ons i think. I need to know what my next step is. I want more power out of my car but i dont know where to go. Im new to the Terminator world. My mods are in my signature. I was thinking about going with a 4 lb lower pulley but im just not sure what to do. Also...,would a JLT CAI flow better than my Demolet CAI? I have 1000$ to spend and its itching my pocket. let me know please and thanks.

 

Kooks or ARH Longtubes, Port/Polish you eaton, 2.93 upper & 4lb lower pullies. Do you have a dyno tune? If not get one. You need to get the power you already make to the ground. I would do the IRS brace (hope your not launching your car without it) IRS bushings, Tubular K-member, Coil overs. Get yourself some 17x10.5 wheels with 315 nitto DR. Man there is a bunch of stuff left to do. Go here and start looking at everything:

I forgot to mention you can also PP your stock heads and do cams, also do the head cooling mod if you don't have it done.

 

with the 4lb lower pulley, would i have to do supporting mods like injectors, and MAF and fuel pumps? someone told me that earlier today and i am just wondering how much HP injectors, MAF and fuel pumps can handle. and what does the IRS brace do? does it hold everything in place? and then someone told me that headers arent really worth it because all you get is 10 hp and they are a bitch to put on. yea took it to the dyno and Tony put a base tune on my car because i need a new intercooler pump. so he just found a cobra that he had done with the same CAI and other mods and downloaded it to my car and it made a huge difference from the universal tune the guy i bought it from had on it. anyways, i need someone to lead me really, what is my next step? lower pulley, dyno tune, and ????

 

Ya, they are a btch to put on for what they give you... the 10 hp mentioned from your friend was assuming that your using Carb legal shorty headers... if you do some long tubes, the number should be a little higher, probably like 15... still. I dont know where your at, but my car wont pass smog with anything other then shorty headers headers, hence no point in doing it for me anyways.... CA is a pain in the a$$....if you only have $1000, there it all goes an then some!!

I'd say your best bet for $1000 is a Steig port and a Boost-a-pump, you wont have that pesky cash in your pocket anymore and you'll have an additional 45-50hp.. then you just have to save up for a dyno tune to make that run a little better. If you cant afford the BAP and the tune now, just get your blower ported and run like a 3.10 pulley on it in the meantime until you can put the BAP, tune and 2.8 in there.

 

JLT CAI ftw IMO!

 

Here the best one I think (the one I got):

Good description of what it does:

i would do a port and a lower pulley. of course you will aso need injectors a bap and a mafia. you will go over 1000 though with everything. but you will not see much in crease in hp with a lower unless you do the port. TQ will go up though.
