Next Upgrades


Ok so as of now I have installed/ordered 4.10 gears, SCT XCal-II, K&N CAI, SLP loud mouth axel back exhaust and SLP loud mouth x-pipe. After Long tube headers, what would be the next upgrade to get? I prefer bolt ons that I can install myself.

stroking is a very difficult job to do by yourself.
i'd hand that to a guy with a few years under the hood to do

lol kk...sorry i guess

but as for the car i'd really only do the UD pulleys unless your going blown. and if your going blown then the Tbody and try tackling a s/c install project.

it might take a few days but yea

nitrous also wouldnt be so hard if you desire the need to spray

on a stock engine dont expect huge gains though

ok well hmm I doubt I'm going to s/c it anytime soon so yeah. I've heard that if I have 4.10 gears the cams are going to take away from my low end power but at to my mid and high range power. So you definately reccomend getting the ud pulleys if I'm not going to s/c it for a couple years.
