What car did you race and what were the mods man?
I would do a H/C/I combo that should help you alot!
What nitrous kit do you plan on useing in the future?

I heard a new spin on the whole gear thing----gears should be last so you can match the gears to the power--makes sense in a way.

We have that stock silly u/d pulleys would be a great bang for the buck and so would a 94/95 cobra intake....

Supercharger or H/C/I combo is your best bet to make good power.

Well Turbo, alum. heads, and blowers are great bolt-ons, but are quite expensive. If you want a couple quick bolt ons that will most greatly improve your power, get a cobra intake and some underdrive pulleys, and then advance your timing. If you find good deals on those two parts, you can get them both for around $400 + shipping. Then after you advance the timing you are lookig at around 15-20whp gains along with some good torque numbers.

to clear a few things up i already have underdrive pulleys. and the car was a cobalt ss with longtube header, no cat, borla catback, cai, stage 2 (4 more pounds of boost, and computer). it went 14.2@99 at the track. lol all those mods for that time

you have a bigger tb and maf? if not a 65mm tb and 70+mm maf with a gt-40 intake would be a good start. than save up for heads and a cam. gt40x heads and e or f cam after that you would be a happy cet bro. go looking for camaro ss instead of cobalt ss

im going to be doing heads and cam too after i do my throttle body, gears and posi. But im going the cheaper easier way for a pretty good gain on a street car. Im going to be going with the Thumper Heads and Cam package(TFS 1) and it is only around 1k for it.

what speedo gear did u use to correct your spedometer if u did happen to use one? i cant seem to find the one for 3.73s and also do u have the stock driveshaft or an aluminum one. i would like gears to be my next mod buy im worried about vibrations and not having the cash on hand for a driveshaft to rid them if their is a problem which i belive some have had after gears
