gears!!!! and a tuner!!!! lowering springs!!! that should work for a while until the mod bug bites again

02BlkGt · 09-23-2009

haha.. ive had the mod bug. would i be able to have the gears installed and get the tuner and springs for 1000? i could do the springs myself.

what about cams? how much tq/hp will it add? i love the way they sound. which ones should i get and how much would they cost?

04sonicbluegt · 09-23-2009

oh i didn't think about installation

probably be close... get the gears and tuner and have that done and see how much it runs you, shouldn't be all that much... you should be able to get the springs though... what gears you going with?

02BlkGt · 09-23-2009

im gonnna go with 4.10s... if i decide to go that way.

04sonicbluegt · 09-23-2009

i seen in your profile that you have an automatic.... i would go 4.10s and don't think twice, they freaking rock in an auto.... put some in my buddies 06 gt (granted he does have one more gear in his auto) and they pwn

02BlkGt · 09-23-2009

yeah thats what i hear. i definately wanna be able to feel it so i decided on 4.10s long ago. haha

Save another 1k and go hunt for a supercharger. Been seeing a lot of them going for 2k or less (if you bargain) Heck, I got mine for less than 2k

A blower is one of the easiest ways to add big power besides nitrous

That's what I'm always told, you'll need forged internals in order to go decently high PSI supercharged.

You don't need forged internals just run the stock amount of boost then when you save up some more get a intercooler and get a pulley swap.

02BlkGt · 09-24-2009

sounds great... wonder how long that will take me. haha

No, you don't need forged internals to run a s/c. Just as long you don't run a lot of boost then you'll be fine. A buddy of mine is making 386rwhp with just 8psi thru a auto

8psi is where a lot of people run the normal amount on a stock motor. Some will push more like 10-12psi but every motor is different, some like the added psi and some don't.

so when i hit like 10 psi and higher what internals will i have to upgrade?
