Low End Torque


what are some good mods to boost the low end torque of my v6...only mods i have so far are p&p upper/lower intakes, p&p heads, dual exhaust, and a cai...i know all that mostly contributes to higher RPM power, so i was looking for mods to kind of balance it out, 4.10s and posi will come soon enough, anything else i could look into?

either would work out fine.
I don't think you need a dyno tune for just a shot of nitrous though

dyno for sure, you'll wanna play with your a/f a lot on a 100 shot, check out dynotune nitrous better kits IMO than zex and cheaper, they also have one of the best fogger nozzles on the market

uhh google maps is the best probably, if you can find a good tuner who can set your a/f to about 13.2:1 youd be ok but a dyno is a lot safer
