maybe its time for some suspension work... just a thought

 

fair enough.

 

Hey guys, thanks for all the advice! This is a great forum.

So, seems like the general consensus is fuel pump, DP with test pipe, O2 housing and lower pipe, then move on to cams when I have the scratch.

Any thoughts on cost and what kind of gains I'd get by doing all of the above (except cams)?

BTW, I'll be finding out where I'm at at the 10/20 dyno day, so that'll give a good baseline.

 

The golden (I guess) formula

TBE
MBC or EBC
Intake(Optional)
IC piping
Fuel pump
Boost gauge
and good tune=
315-330whp

And You should be able to achieve this without blowing too much cash...
TBE is less then 1000(Unless you go on the bling)
MBC is like 60-80 bucks(Hallman's nice)
IC piping(I got Nisei LIP, like 100bucks)
Fuel pump(Walbro-like less then 100 for sure)
Gauge(Prosport is cheap, and other great gauges are so too)
Tune(Hit up Lucas, GREAT tuner and very reasonabe price)

Unless I missed something, I think that's the "stage 1"
Good luck at the dyno

 

I dyno'd at 285 hp and 301 ft/lbs. Surprised I wasn't a little higher in HP, but the good news is when I take those next steps it should add 30-45hp and the car will feel quite a bit faster.
