Default more power

I have a 96 V6 and I already have a CAI, Stage 1 clutch, Stage II computer chip, I am about to get a Pro 5.0 short thro, and underdrive pulleys. So other than a TB spacer, what else can I do to get more power without dumping a boat load of cash into it?

First off, a TB spacer won't give you jack. It's a waste of $$$. Get a 75 shot and smoke some GT's!

4.10 gears and a t-lok thats anywhere from $600 to $1000 but it will be the best thing you ever did

and the TB spacer is useless, get a 65 mm TB and get the intake ported to go with it.

You could try for an 8.8 posi-track and control arms.....but you're at the "dumping a boat load of cash into it" to get more power stage. Go to supersixmotorsports.com or http://www.ststurbo.com
both will be happy to take that boat load of cash .....

Oh yes..the nitris ..... there is always the funny gas

nitrous?

we have 7.5 rear ends so a 8.8 wont do any good, a posi or t-lok will help, along with gears, they dont increase HP but will give you better acceleration

[sm=wtf.gif] THINK about it. An 8.8" would do MUCH better than a 7.5". Stronger, and has the T-Lok built in already.
But there's that "boat load of cash" issue.

Hey I was just throwing out ideas to spend that boat load...8.8 would be better for all the right reasons..nitris nitrous would be OK....a turbo, heads, cam, how far do we want to go? ........the only thing holding us back is that darn boat.
