24 lb injectors $200
75mm Pro-m maf $220 (Do not buy C&L!!!!!)
190 lph pump $90
pres regulator $75
Fuel Prs guage $40
Steeda = $625.00
Scrap together another $150-175 and this will make a huge diff with your set-up. Maybe if you shop around you will find some of this stuff cheaper

get some subframe connectors along with upper/lower control arms with torque box reinforcements.

That sounds like a good idea...so what was wrong with the intake idea?

Not worth the money on stock heads...simple...if anything having the lower ported would be more than enough...the heads are still a culprit..

I agree with whoever mentioned subframes. I would still look into maybe putting a ported stock lower intake on; should help out quite a bit as the intake kills flow much worse than the stock heads. I would have gotten a ported lower, but came across a screaming deal on a used performer intake.

pro-M is just more accurate since it is calibrated for specific injector size to get the perfect A/F ratio possible...C&L is not...it uses sample tubes...

Well...what kinds of diferences would I see if I switched my current 76mm C&L with a 75mm pro-m? Power or what?

get some used gt40 iron heads. you can get em for 400 and they will give you a huge improvement over stock and room to grow

I dunno how everyone feels about msd but maybe a 6AL ignition and a pro-billet distributor; or i guess you could go with another preference like mallory or accel. Could be a good investment.

definately NOT on a stock motor...maybe a new coil but that's it...waste of money on a rather stock motor...You got to look at the weakness of the car...

1. lower intake
2. heads
3. upper intake
4. tranny
5. suspension definatelly needs attention...if you want the power made by the car to go to the ground instead of going to thin air...

aftermarket dizzies are a waste of money. every dizzy is made the same and do the same thing. just some look better.the only thing i can think of that you don't have is heads and intake, unless you wanna switch to long tube headers. i would get a set of used gt40p or something of that nature and get them fully ported. if you also want to get inside the motor i would get some APR rod bolts because the stock bolts are weak and will give sooner or later. better safe than sorry, especially after all of the money you have in your car judging by your sig.

Yeah baby!!

Also if you can remove your lower intake yourself I would get that ported.
