Next mod


Alright guys, I already have a set of FRPP pullies, PI intake, bbk o/r x-pipe, flowmaster 40 series, Granatelli MAF, and CAI. What should I do next?

Gears, cam, tuner, plenum & TB

Any suggestions?

I agree but I'm on a fairly tight budget. I have a wife and child that come first. If you were at the same point, which mod would you choose next?

Ok thats what I was thinking but wanted a 2nd opinion. I'm thinking either 4.10's or 3.73's. I do alot of city driving but take a 200 mile trip once every other week. I unfortunately have a slowmo automatic.

Sounds like a plan my man... I'm hoping to get them in the next month or so. By the way, the pullies worked out great! I put them on while doing my PI intake. All in all, a nice little boost for the little pony

Damn thats pretty good seeing as I only get about 21 or so, but that was with a cracked manifold. Maybe it will go up 1 or 2 mpg. If not, I still have more power than before.

Thats what I've heard. Everyone tells me that its a huge difference in feeling. I know a guy who put 4.10's in his 96 auto and he can jump just about any LT1 around here, which isn't saying a whole lot but still...
