So I have just gotten 3.73s, which I LOVE, but now I am wanting to make more of the power band (read: 3000RPMs+).
I have your typical beginners mods (listed in signature) and was wondering what was the cheapest route to extend the power past 2800-3000 RPMs, where it feels like it starts to drop off. Its especially annoying on the freeway with the new rear-end gear.
I was thinking about spending less than a grand (<$1000) including labor.
If I could just push the power drop off to like 3500-4000 RPMs, I would be stoked!
Would Mass-air-meter (C&L 76mm), throttle body (70mm), and upper/lower intake (cobra??) do the trick? what about adding cold air intake as well (is it a waste?)?
Doing heads would probably also require some sort of non-stock intake as well, right? which means more money. Plus, heads alone would probably run over $1000 by themselves since I won't be able to put them in myself.
What are some recommendations?
Thanks!
