$1500 To Spend

psycho bob · October 3rd, 2006, 10:09 PM

so i'm looking at ordering some parts and a tuner so they will be waiting for my return to the states. is there a difference in the diablo and sct tuners and do you think one is better than the other and why? What bolt on parts should i get....i'm looking at spending around $1500 total. keep in mind i don't want to have to buy anything twice as i'm planning on getting a S/C next year. thanks

if your getting a s/c a good first mod- 3.73 gears.( idk what rear you have on ur car, but if u need to replace it for the s/c then dont get the gears yet, its kinda a waste of money)

full exhaust with headers(Long tubes) is also a good first few mods

tuner- SCT XCAL2 for the win
if you want a cold air intake, they say JLT makes the best...if not K&N is fine!

Ill send you my almost brand new JLT intake for $150 shipped. I will no longer need it.

Go with a SCT XCAL 2...Itsthe best tuner out there IMHO...

L33T · October 5th, 2006, 06:51 PM

Yeah I think I'd go xcal2, 3:7s and LT's.
Keeping FI in mind.

thanks for the advise. the car is an 07 GT with 3.55's in the rear

Go with the XCAL2 it seems to be taking over! Many great tuners out there too. Go Doug at BAMA!

07BossGT · November 8th, 2007, 05:14 PM

You know, 3.55's are a pretty good choice. I'd stick with those for now. If you go too steep, you'll be shifting your ass off!!! $1500? I'd go for the exhaust, cai and tune... How about the SCT Livewire?

Take that 1500 and put it in the supercharger fund...then uprgrade from there

i'm sure he already figured out what to do with his $1500, considering this thread also died over a year ago...
