More Power Please!!!
More Power Please!!!
Hey guys, im beggining to think that there is nothing more for me to do without spending a crapload of money on a built motor. I currently have a APS ST with exhaust / APS plenum / tilton clutch/flywheel / and tuned it during winter at XX tuning (forgot the numbers but it was ~380hp). I wanted to know, is there ANYTHING i can do for more power other then a built motor? i have a Snow Performance kit sitting in my garage but will this ADD any power or will it just make my car more safe? If you have any input as to what i can do please put me in the right direction!
thnx
ps- my car seems to be running slower then it used to....prob bcuz of the heat. Would a retune be neccessary?

Probly not slower your just used to it now. the WI kit will let you run a bit more aggressive but is 30hp worth an engine? I had a aps st for a bit and my friends c6 seemed so much faster. We raced a couple times and I would win but the single did not seem to pull until 50plus mph.

YES! take it to MRC and have it tuned properly
You can always have them retune your car to be a little more agressive. Have you thought about swapping your ST out and putting in a TT setup? It may run you a couple grand but will easily give you 450whp on near the same boost.

everything you said is correct but he will also be running a greater risk of blowing his engine.
look man, if you want more power, you're going to have to spend money for a built motor. if you don't do it right the first time, you will end up spending money in the long run for repairs. just save up for a few months and do everything at once.

Price of a new turbo kit, uninstall of the st and install of the tt will be a LOT more than a couple grand. I thought about it and decided it would be more cost effective to go the route i did since i already bought the st kit. i did cams and utec. the cams gave me about 30whp and the utec allows me to run c-16 whenever i like and still run 420whp on 93octane. pm me i you have any specific questions about the kit.
