N/A Bang for the Buck

[DTRMiguel]

What is the best buy for an N/A car if that makes sence.
Looking at headers Stainless Works $900
Mabey Cams Thumper or COMP $1400
Torque Converter $800
NAzty performance HCI package $4,000
:help::help:

[Blackened300a]

The convertor hands down. There is a brand new one for sale right now for only $400 in another thread. Thats a steal!

[O's Fan Rich]

Papa John has one for sale.... too.....

Don't forget... that whole list needs install labor, Mikey!

[DOOM]

BUY A BLACK CAR!!! :banana2:

[fastblackmerc]

Underdrive pulleys
4:10's
Torque converter
CAI
Colder plugs
Colder t-stat
Tune / tuner

For handling:
Addco sway bars frt & rear
Metco upper & lower rear control arms

I don't think the cams would give you a good HP "return" on the money spend buying & installing them.

[Dragcity]

Headers make a bigger difference than some will admit. Need a tune to utilize it though.

What is better, the larger addco hollow bar or the slightly smaller solid bar for the front?

Great thread!!:beer:

Mike, I would do all this stuff above here first. It's all stuff that can be done without hitting the dyno. Once you go headers then a dyno tune is needed. With 4.10 gears I should be mid 13's all day long without the drag radials.

How is a colder thermostat going to help anything? Colder does not always mean more power.

I have the solid bars frt & rear. Like them alot.

Cooler running engine can use more timing.

I agree. Also a complete exhaust system works even better.

Correct, 180 degree stat and TR-6 plugs (1 step colder than stock).

[DTRMiguel]

lmao!!!1!!1111!!

[ctrlraven]

Yeah don't waste your money on Silverstars for the fogs, their only good for about 100 hrs. Use normal long life ones or get a HID kit for them.

[nazman]

Ill say:

CAI
Ported Intake
Headers
Mid Pipe
Cat Back
4.10 Gears
Cobra R Alt & PS Pulleys
Tune
TR6s @ .054
That will be good for solid 13s @ ~100MPH

or

Same as above but add:

Nazty HCI (Ported Shot Runner, Stage 3 Heads, Custom Sticks ~.475/.475 230/226 @ .050 and ~112 LC)
That will be good for deep 12s @ 110+MPH

For your custom grinds.... who does them? I hear houston performance is the ish?

[sd8683]

Wow, I don't know why that would be. I've been running them for 4 years.


Brian I'm glad to hear you had success with the silverstars..... I just bought some.

[TiTo35]

Lol...he not going to add anything...

[DTRMiguel]

If i bought cams and ported intake would i need bigger injectors? For more fuel to mix with the air?

[ctrlraven]

Wow, I don't know why that would be. I've been running them for 4 years.
Beats me??? I've had two sets in them and they have both burned out after several months. Probably because I drive more so they are on more than the average owner's.

Why do you keep bring up cams & ported intake? The general conses is that you DO NOT get an appreciable amount of HP for the money you spend on porting and cams.....

You can't come back with something like an hour later on. :flamer:

Well i would say do a FULL exhaust setup & custom tune.

Took you another hour to come up with something?

[Blackened300a]

The topic was bang for the buck. Im sure $3000 in exhaust work is a big bang but you can get the same SOTP feel from a much cheaper convertor.

LMAO. I DO work....lol

[nazman]

For your custom grinds.... who does them? I hear houston performance is the ish?

I spec'd my cams, Comp Cams grounds them.

[ctrlraven]

Yeah so do I. Most of the time I get on here is while at work. :P

[LANDY]

i have heard very good things about the TC in these cars. i go with that one, besides 4.10s,cai,exhaust and tune.

[ctrlraven]

4.10 gears and a 3500 stall converter is fun fun fun.
