Hi,
So far I have done these mods. 4.10s, 70mm throttle body, CAI, Predator
tune, SLP LM1, and SLP catted X. The car is alot more fun to drive now.
It had 223 rwp (dynojet) stock before I made any changes. What would
be the next recommendation? TIA.
Tim

Long tube headers, or a set of cams would be a nice choice.

I agree with the LT's or Cams. Can be big bucks but good gains with these. Since you have the TB, maybe an Accufab plenum, steeda UD Pullies, or a Blower

Re: what next

I have considered the plenum. Which is a good choice? The long tubes
must be a pain to get the old exhaust manifold off and the new on? It's
mighty tight up there. I had fun putting the x-pipe on. The cams might
be nice. The blower is not feasible right now as I just had my house sided
and new windows. That pretty much killed my budget for the short term.
How much extra hp could one assume to get from a set of mild cams?
TIA.

VT stg 1s will pick you up around 20RWHP by their selves. A few have gotten 30RWHP from VT stg 1s, but I got just over 30 from them, tune, 75mm TB, and a JLT RAI (CAI). It seems as though LTs give about the same, most gain between 15 and 20RWHP at peak untuned. And with cams, i would NOT get on it until it was dyno tuned as the A/F will be way off.

Agreed, start doing some suspension mods, then go after the cams.
