I want to get the spilt port Stage 3 Powerpak and do a swap, but I remember reading that the power ratings on the site are inflated. Also I would need a tune after this, so what tuner do you recommend? How much hp would I gain if I did this approximately.

I need new shocks and struts, and figure I will probably want to replace them and the brakes too, what good brands do you recoomend? I don't really want to go all out and spend like $500 on suspension since I probably won't be taking the car to the track or anything. This is my daily driver and I want a good compromise between handling, comfort and getting the power to the ground

 

OK, for the 10 thousandth time, unless you're running N2O, or an S/C you do not, and will not need a Stage 3 kit. Read over their site more carefully, each kit is set up for a certain kind of engine. A Stage 3 on an otherwise stock engine could "Potentially" do more harm than good by lowering torque and possible peak hp, same thing happens on V8s with the 5.0s when people run out and get the highest flowing Eddelbrock kit on the market, and can't figure out for the life of them why they have no torque when compaired to others that have lower flowing Eddelbrock intakes on their otherwise stock engine.

If you're gonna be running an S/C, and shortly, like 6 moths or so, then get the Stage 3, but a Stage 2 and or Stage 2+ will net you what you need/want, and if you need help, email them and they can furthur assist you.

As far as breaks go, Cobra conversion kits, and or Brembo are really really good. Also, Roush, Saleen, and Steeda are great,but rather expensive as well.

 

I want to put a stroker kit on it in probably December/January that's why I had brought up the Stage 3. Plus I'm going to be doing a T5 swap in a couple weeks, well hopefully if the kit doesnt get sold before my money gets here

Also, is it even worth it to do the split port swap? I'm looking to make about 250rwhp after the power pak, stroker, and bolt ons. Would I need to do the split port swap to attain this, or could I save myself a few hours and just get the single port?

 

also, will a tuner like an SCT or whatever do the job or would I have to get it dynoed?
