i have a stock 5AT

am i on the "right" path if i put in a flywheel and a crank pulley and maybe a CAI

or am i all over the place with these mods

and does having a 5at have anything to do with it?

 

MaxHax who used to be here had a similar setup... He had a Crawford Plenum, AEM Cai, and a crank pulley, and with that N/A setup he ran 13.65 in his 5at Z. So, get that plenum and you should be able to break into 13s.

 

easy to say..but i dont have the cash for it now

 

actually...maybe i do..whats the best price i can get it for

and what makes people go for plenums over exhausts or vice versa

 

plenum is 450 if you return your stock core back to crawford

 

just FYI, automatic trannies don't have a flywheel.

 

i know i read it in another thread...at least i didnt embarrass myself somewhere else

 

...but the crank pulleys are fine right?

 

yeah, but then you'll have to buy their strut bar too

 

no you don't, it is optional. you don't HAVE to.

 

yes

 

i'm not tracking my car w/o a strub bar.....so lets just say I HAVE to

 

2 things:

Dont forget a good quality exhaust. Both Borla and Injen have dynoed proven results. I want to say +10 or more rwhp but i cant substantiate that claim without looking through other threads.

Vic, are you sure that auto's dont have flywheels? Logically, that rotating mass is what smooths out the jerkiness of the engine and keeps the crankshaft rotating during those small intervals where there is no power stroke. I could be way off on this one though. Can anyone else put anything in?

 

I was on the wavelength that AT don't have flywheels, but I have no verification so all i can say as of now is, "I dunno" =\
