Hey guys...heres the deal...i have an AEM intake and also should be getting my exhuast(hks) in friday....what do i do next as performance mods go? headers? plenium spacer?pulleys?test pipes?chip? idk what to do next but i want to get the ball on the roll so i can be set for spring time....please help me out...wanna make alot of hp wit bolt-ons....what do u guys think i should do??

 

My advise, until you decide whether or not you going to go with FI, only add stuff that would work with either NA, SC or turbo. Plenum is fine. Test pipes are fine. CAI you'll have to junk if you go FI, but that is not a big loss. Except that your gains will not be major w/out re-tuning, so a tunable EMU should be used with the air mods. However that will exclude APS and JWT turbo kits from you FI choices, should you ever go FI. So like I said, figure out where you want to finish and then you'll know where you have to start from. Mind you that you already going to have issues if you are to go with any ST, since you have gotten a true dual exhaust...

 

well im NOT gonna do F/I just all bolt-ons and what is S/T?

 

"wanna make alot of hp wit bolt-ons...."

not really possible. your not really gunna see more than 5hp at most for most bolt ons.

 

well what do i do? cant super/turbo charge my car so what else is there to do? i figure bolt-ons were my only choice and wanted to get a lil faster...so Zrausch what should i do? help a brotha out please....

Hope this helps buddy..

Good Luck...

 

S/T=Single Turbo

 

Except if the FI ends up being turbo, it's bye-bye headers (at least a grand with labor...)

 

$1000 for labor!!? Where did u go to get a price quote?

Average for header install is $400-500!

Im gettin my SS DC Headers & APS Pipes installed for $185 from a forum member!

 

It cost a lot of dough but my sig is worth 70 ponies. Still, F/I is the way to go if $$ don't matter, which it always does though.

 

Zon, you need to you get your car dynoed, since it looks like you a have slightly different setup than most!! Interested in these most recent NA numbers, which look promising. Just got a set up Nismo Cams in my garage waiting to be installed.

 

It sounds like you’re saying you are putting down over 300 rwhp on a n/a car. It this true? Have you done a dyno?

Thanks

 

The cheapest way to go fast is N2O. If you are on some kind of all-motor mission, try an LSD with the 3.9 gears and some suspension. You can have a lot of fun in this car without being FI. Do the lighter crank pulley, lighter flywheel/clutch, LSD w/3.9 gears, full suspension with nice tires, a spacer, pop charger, and exhaust for the most all-motor fun. More than that ,save up for some form of FI. You can find used superchargers for under $3K online.

 

base dyno 219whp on a Dastek load dyno. I intend to dyno on the Dynojet 248 I based on 2.5 years ago to see those results since that seems to be the dyno that everyone compares to each other on. Just need to find time but I am prolly shipping out overseas very soon for a while.

 

bro get some test pipes an intake a plenum and a bottle and run 12s with tires. Just spary a 75 shot like me , all you need is step colder plugs.

Thanks for the info I don’t know much about dynos, I was just curious because of all the controversy in some of the other theads. Be careful and thank you for your service.

 

well i was gona get Unorthadox pulley's , crawford headers, utech chip, motordyne 5/16 spacer...what do u think? any comments about it? please let me know..i just want tha best....

 

there are plenty of worthwhile mods to make on an n/a 350. Intake and exhaust are a given. A plenum spacer wont give you much but its worth it. An e-manage ultimate will support you no matter what mods you do in the future. Nitrous is good in small quantaties also. We had a 350 come in with only a cone filter intake and a 75 shot of nitrous, i believe he made 60+ lb. ft. of torque over stock.

 

LOL!!! I am sorry i should have realized that's what it sounded like. No, I work for a company that involves lot's of travel, mainly to Asia.

 

Oh, in that case thanks for nothing and live on the wild side!
