And i think my next car (it's gonna be a while) will be a GT, so i guess ill go all out on that one when the time comes

You should go with the 3.73. Also, get a t-lok. If you're not in it for the long haul with this car, then you shouldn't do anything more than basic bolt ons.

A fully built stroker with H/C/I by itself will put you around 250rwhp. You throw a turbo on there...well then things get interesting. It will all depend on your setup...what kind of boost you're running, etc. You could easily see 400+. If you go really high boost you might even be looking at 500-600hp. But yeah if all you want is 200 HP, there are much easier ways than FI.

Alright, cool. I'm a bit confused on these tuners though. I have to buy the tuner, then i have to pay for tunes? And after i get some tunes on the tuner, if i ever want to get different tunes i have to get someone to tune it for me? Is that how it works

full bolt ons would get you maybe 235hp at the crank at best, and i mean youd need every bolt on in the book

full bolt ons and a 75 shot done right will cost just about as much as a turbo kit

Click on the link in my sig. If you buy the tuner there, then you get 2 years of custom tunes for free. That is as many as you want for two years...so that way if you get new mods the tunes are free. After the 2 years are up, you can pay the guy $40 to get another two years. If you click on the link in my sig, the sight that it sends you to can answer all your tuner question.

Are those the right things?

[MWWarlord]

Yup those are the right things. You might also want to get a gear install kit. AM sells one. It should be in the same section with the gears. After that you should be set. You're gonna love what it does to your car.

Alright, Will do....Now i just have to save up some money so i can buy it all at once

[04DSGV6]

Make sure you have tuner before you have the gears and tlock installed, it will knock your speedo off if you dont adjust it with the tuner

Yeah, i read about the speedo getting off when doing gears. That was the main reason i decided to just wait and buy it all together than buy it over time...I'm impatient, and would prolly do something stupid

[MWWarlord]

If you get the tuner from tricktuners you can go ahead and get that first. That way you will get some gains from it while you're saving for the gears and t-lok. Since you get 2 years of free retunes, just e-mail Joe when you are ready to install the new gears, and he'll send a new tune right out to you.

i wont have the money for a s/c and all for a while. i have my own apartment at college, full time student and work part time. I want more power right now.. down the road a s/c will be put in. Next i want a tuner. How much are P&P heads and lower intake? I know chris sells the windstar upper for $60 plus shipping, but i dunno what the price would be to install. I wanna learn about it but dont wanna fuck up my car.

Alright, I'm going to order from tricktuners for sure. The previous owner had installed a "performance chip" in the car, and i know that i will need that out before i can use a tuner. In another thread one of the guys suggested that i ask the guy where the chip was so i can remove it, but the problem is that i dont have contact with the guy anymore. So my question is, if its one of those cheap ebay things thats just a resistor, where would i find this "chip" at in my car. But if its not one of those ebay "performance chips" and its an actual eec chip im guessing it would be in the eec box behind the passenger kick panel, correct?
