I can't decide what to do next?...
Well... I have done a lot of bolt on mods that have yielded your normal 1-2 HP each...lol...
Gears are done.. 4:10.. Love them TransMission done TCI Tranny with Modded Valve body, 3500 stall Exhaust has weld in Flows 40's Love the sound.. UDP... Steeda.. TB and Plenum.. Accufab CAI is BBK.. so....... next should be.. I wish I could afford a power adder but no way in holy hell I could talk the wife into that..lol.... I live in Mass so I have emissions testing so I cant run Long tube Headers... from what I have herd shorty's are a waste of money... So... Im thinking maybe cams?...but should I do them without Porting and Polishing the heads?.. ![]() If I do the cams... I dont think I could do them my self and Im not going to pay a garage to rape me so maybe someone on here lives near me that has done the install before and would be willing to help a brother out... and make some coin..... So can I have some input... Maybe list 5 things I should to next... Give me a vision.......

if ur gonna mod it further, u might as well get the shorties cuz they are better than ur stock logs, u just wont see as much gain on a near stock engine than ud see on a blown one.
in my eyes, next steps are 1. headers (in ur case shorties) 2. tune, since u didnt mention it (and retune after every mod after this) 3. get some high flow cats instead of ur stockers 4. maybe a shot of n2o 5. p&p heads and intake/trickflow heads if they come out be4 u get to this step 6. cam 7. forged block with higher compression pistions if u ever convince the wife to let u blow it (i prefer turbo, but thats just me), that will change this up and be more like 1. power adder (supercharger or turbo) 2. headers (not needed if u go turbo) 3. tune, since u didnt mention it (and retune after every mod after this) 4. get some high flow cats instead of ur stockers 5. forged block 6. p&p heads/trickflow heads if they come out be4 u get to this step 7. cam 8. maybe a shot of n2o and those are only the engine stuff. u could also look into suspension mods too like sub-frame connectors, lowering springs, stuff like that

on a personal note, my next step is a tune then either 150 shot of n2o or a single turbo. after that im all suspension till i can afford a new forged motor

Agreed with HBK. You can find a nice s/c for a decent price. Matter of fact, I think there are a few for sale on here. If Im not mistaken, navyseabee is selling his. N20 would be cheaper though. Cams would be a great next mod though.

I didn't see you mention lower control arms. I'd slap those on if you don't have them.

How bout tubular K, a-arms, coil-overs, cc plates? Doesnt add any power, however it will reduce weight and increase handling.

dont you or wouldnt it benefit to have longtubes to increase the flow when you port and polish the heads and get cams? i read it somewhere just cant remember where.
i'd get a cams and port and polish the heads w/ a little shot of juice. |

As far as cams, you'll get the same results from either set of cams of lets say VT Stg 1s and VT Stg 2s, the 2's will outshine the 1's when you have ported heads or the like. I would get longtubes aswell but I see you stated you can't run them due to emissions...I can't speak for shorties, never tried them myself only read on what others have said. I have a friend running 12.30's NA in an auto vert btw, going off his mods.
