What Else Can I Do?


my car is stock 06 GT auto (on a ship heading for the UK) other than a saleen blower, roush rear shocks, baer brakes,39lb injectors, a 95mm MAF, and an xcal tuner.....would you guys reccomend anything else to make the most of the package.......Im thinking long tube headers and maybe cams.....but dont know what cams ?......does anyone do a Jmod kit for the 06 auto....it wont be easy to do diff gear changes over here (UK) so going to stick with a stock rear end.....

getting a car dynod is also all but impossible....I think i need additional bolt ons that recoup lost power on stock items but dont require retunes......any ideas

PS......

the saleen SC was pro installed so its properly tuned apparently.....the xacal has summer and winter tunes on it for 93 octane as i know it........

Im guessing Im putting down 400rwhp.....but looking for 450


does the xcal allow me to do shift point and speed limiter changes?

having read some posts here i see that the stock internals are generally good for 450 at the wheels......how are those limits for the stock auto trans and rear end

First we need to know how stringent emissions testing/car inspections are in th UK. I go to Spain once a year and the car inspections will make you think California is like Alabama. Visual on top and on from underneath, with diagrams of what everything is supposed to look like on each car. Tires have to be oem height and width, etc you get where I'm going.

Ok then yes go with longtubes, and if you want to go with cams, nothing too big to be careful with emissions.

I don't know if cam specs are the same in every car, being that I have a gto it might be different but I heard a 114 lsa or higher is best for emissions.
