Default Need more

This is a question for all you guys that have modded your GT's more than I. I need more power. I have stage 1, maxx fab downpipe and cat, forward motion cat back, (both 2.5"), VAK intake (filter and up pipe.) What is going to get me the most bang for my buck now? I am planning on motor mount and sway bar upgrades. these will just help get the go juice to the ground and keep it there. But what else will help me go faster? links to sites and vendors will also be helpful[8)]

Next biggest bang for the buck would be either a Stage 2 WG from an SRT4 or an AGP wasgate. At the same time add a 2-stage manual boost controler and a boost gage. With those 3 items you can up your boost to 17 lbs. boost without pulling timing. Figure about 7-8 HP for every pound of boost you add.

If you are Autostick, might want to start saving for the A&A Autostick, because you will eat your transmission....

If you are familiar with the Greddy profec e-01 ebc can you help me find the right lines to hook pressure seliniod then the correct place to hook the valve unit to as Greddy instructions are kinda sketchy for this engine.

a hot side hard pipe will finish out your piping... amx makes them.

i don't know what year yours is, but if you have the aluminum intake manifold, get the composite manifold. a check valve and catch can as supporting mods for that.

then yes, get a wga, and a bc...
