hey, i recently installed a cat-back stainless steel borla type s exhaust, a FIPK K&N cold air intake, and a poweraid throttle body spacer all by my self in my garage. This is because I love working on my car in my garage making it faster (and it has been gettin pretty damn fast). I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions of things i can adjust or install in my car by myself for better performance other than bigger throttle body, headers, and a supercharger, because that will be coming up in the future
thanksss

 

have u tuned it yet?
if not do that

 

midpipe, UD pullies, nitrous

 

How do i do that??

 

can you be more specific with the midpipe and UD pullies? i've been looking into these.

 

a dyno tune, or a handheld reprogrammer like SCT XCAL 2 or diablow preditor.
UD pullies are underdrive pullys. They change the pullys to free up a whopping 7hp if you are lucky. The midpipe is inbetween your manifolds and your catback. You can free up a couple ponies here too.

 

this is what i have done to my 02 GT.

I HAVE A TUNER FOR SALE NOW IT IS ON EBAY BUT I WILL SELL IT 220 YOU PAY SHIPPING.

DIABLOSPORT PREDATOR I HAD IT ON MY CAR FOR 6MONTH. NOW I HAVE A FLIP CHIP FOR THE NITROUS

 

since you already had it on ur car, would you recommend it? how well did it work?

 

It worked fine, but i just put nitrous on the car

 

I just got my diablo - its great - car runs alot smoother and pick up is much much quicker - its a great product... make sure its unlocked if u buy used or ull be SOL

 

actullay if you i want i have a diablo chip... 100.00 bucks - and ill hook u up with a tuner who will tune it for your mods for a 100.00 thats 200 for a custom chip - can't beat that... just email me at bransdaman78@aol.com

 

Yep do the gear's!!!

 

Gears...Best bang for the buck.

 

low 12's no problem with traction.

 

You want more grunt, bump up to 3.73 or 4.10 gears (4.10's are best for auto's IMO). 02-04 GT's had crappy tunes out of the box. I've seen the actual tables and it's a joke compared to even 99-01. Makes them really lag a lot and stay lean too long. An out of the box handheld SCT tune will make your life easy and help the power a bit. It'll also adjust your ECU for the new gears.

An X pipe is worth usually 6-12 hp and will make full use of your cat back.

If you want quick easy power in 1 part but you'll have to have someone do it for you for best results and get your tune adjusted, cams are worth up to 40hp. Cams are about 5-600 bucks, another 300 for springs and gaskets, and probably 5-800 for install. You'll almost certainly lose a little down low but you'll gain big time up top.

 

I know people on this site have installed gears, but I wouldn't say it's really a "do it yourself" type of thing. Mid pipe and UDP's are pretty straight forward and somewhat easy to do if you have the tools. The mid pipe will give you a great sound and power, the UDP's will net you 5-10 rwhp. It all sounds like small gains, but it all adds up.

 

that's the truth... dont' do your own gears unless you do gears for a living.
