How to get more torque?
#12
I have the FRPP Cold Air Intake with the SCT Tuner from American Muscle. If you're looking for more torque, the race tune will give you more than what you're looking for IMO.
When I added duals too, I noticed a nice increase in low end torque and overall vehicle responsiveness.
I haven't added gears/T-Lok yet, so from personal experience I can't compare a CAI+Tune against gears/T-lok for you. But hey, why settle for one or the other? Go all out and get a CAI, custom tune, gears, and T-lok Slap on some dual exhaust, and there you go!

That's my V6 auto, been able to do that for a while, before I changed the headers and muffler.
It's not hard to do, although pointless.
We need to sticky a thread titled "Click here for info on adding power" to prevent the million threads about hp/tq
Add this to get more:
CAI & tune
Change your muffler or go full dual exhaust
Add shorty headers for a small gain and better tone
If you have more to spend buy a GT 8.8" rear end with some sort of LSD and 4.10 gears

Same here. Pretty easily too but ever since I upgraded my tires, I don't get as many chirps from a stop as I used to. That could be part of it.

i was told headers can lose tq due to lessening backpressure.
and if i can screech my 20's you should be able to chirp your 17's.
but yes, hp and tq go hand and hand mostly, if you want to to punch off the line better then a good way is to lighten rotating mass, with things like a lightweight driveshaft. and if your a manual then a lightweight flywheel. and 4.10 gears help with the pull off as well.

Yes, they go hand in hand, but it's really more the other way around. Horsepower is a measurement of how much torque is produced at a given RPM.

Here's my stock manual 2010 spinning the tires, even though I wasn't trying to. Only mod is single GT takeoff. I couldn't imagine the auto drive train restricting the car that much. You gotta love clutches
