Just got back from the Dyno and my IX put down 340hp and 331tq to the wheels with mods in my siq. I want to get those numbers up to around 400, so I want to definitely add an Alky kit but not sure which one is the best. Also was thinking of AMS UICP, HKS Exhaust Cam, and maybe a AMS FMIC. What do you guys think, should that get me to 400 to the wheels???

 

I would go for the cam, and alky

 

yessir

 

Definatley cam and alky

 

snow performance alky with failsafe and hks cams when they come out in the next few months..thats my plan

 

wow...on what dyno...340 without cams and meth, Im only hoping to make that much with everything you got plus alky/meth and not to mention $hitty 91 oct gas

 

I know, the IX's make the VIII's look like lancers.

Got to have methanol

 

haha

 

GSC 280 cam + Alky FTW!!

 

So you think that I will get some noticable gains by just using the exhaust cam? And should I go with the Snow Performance Stage 2 kit you can get on Ebay? And when I do install these do you think I can get away with just mailing my computer in for a reflash or should I go back up for another custom tune?

 

So I got to thinking, where does the alky go, where does the fitting go that feeds the engine Anyone got any pics.

 

i would add hotside, o2 housing to tbe, mbc, flash, with cams on top of that u will be at 340 without alky. with alky, fmic, licp u can approach 370-400. dont hate your eight!

 

ix's havent been responding all that hot to cams.. dont know why.

 

^ tell me about it

 

No, you won't see hardly any gains with UICP, FMIC, and exhaust cam. Yes, alky will be help you gain a lot of HP and a ton of torque, but those mods don't do much at all. I highly suggest NOT doing a single ehxaust cam. People have not seen proven gains with them at all. Wait for the GSC 280s to start getting in cars and getting dyno'd or on the track to verify gains, then think about getting them for a mere $599 shipped.

For now, slap on a Buschur ported/coated stock manifold, Buschur coated o2 and wait for the cams. If you absolutely must do the alky now, then go for it - it works great. Once you have the alky and are running big boost daily, then an FMIC will be more useful.

Jeff, the alky nozzle gets plumbed into the UICP right before the throttlebody...
